David and Jo Fulwood wanted a long term family home that would be comfortable in the extreme temperatures of the West Australian wheatbelt region. The site on the farm was selected to optimise the prevailing cool breezes in summer and avoid the bitterly cold winds and temperatures in winter. The building was shaped to take advantage of these conditions with a protected indoor/outdoor room with flywire barrier. Extensive verandahs were utilised with living spaces and master bedroom facing north with other bedrooms on the south. Mudroom and Farm office were located to deal with the practical aspects of the farming family.

Environmental features - Solar pergola blades over the indoor outdoor room. Solar pergolas and solar inserts to the north of the living areas and master bedroom.  Solar hot water system. 200,000 litre watertank. Photo Voltaics.
