The site is located in a beautiful rural sub-division near Denmark. The gradually sloping open field suddenly falls away towards the south to some spectacular natural bushland. It was decided to locate the house on the crest of this slope, to be far away enough from the bush in case of fire but close enough to enjoy the views of the bush. The challenge was to create a passive solar design facing north while still optimising views to the south. This was achieved with a linear design with all living rooms and master bedroom having northern and southern orientation. A large solar pergola is located on the north east to create a warm protected area out of the wind with oblique views of the bushland. The house was constructed of reverse brick veneer walls, external colorbond custom orb cladding and insulated tin roofing.

Environmental features - Timber solar pergola. Solar electric boosted hot water system. 92,000 litre rainwater tank. Biolytix black and grey water treatment system.
