Located on a beautiful bush block in Banksia Grove, this stone house has two wings which radiate at lightly different angles from a central entrance point. The one wing accommodates the living areas while the other wing houses the bedrooms. The house is extended in a curvilinear form and opens out to the north onto timber decks and with all rooms visually linked to the bush. The extended form optimises natural ventilation. The single bathroom is a multi-use space split into different parts with the generous vanity being located off the breezeway with double doors opening out through sliding doors to an outside shower area and clothes drying deck. The internal shower and bath are in a separate room with the WC also separated. This allows for maximum use of these facilities without having to double up.

Environmental features - The client wanted this house to be able to operate without being connected to the electricity grid, water mains and to be fully food sufficient. There is a 2KW photovoltaic system with a full battery backup. LED lights are used throughout. Solar hotwater system. Slow burner used for cooking in winter also heats the house. There are two 10,000 litre rainwater tanks. The garden was designed by Josh Byrne with local food production.
