Project overview

This single level house uses a lightweight steel structure and cantilevers over the site. The plan locates the bedrooms on one side and living areas on the other. A timber batten breezeway in the centre of the house channels breezes and connects indoor and outdoor spaces. The house has a raked ceiling with high-level windows and louvres that bring natural sunlight in a capture external views inside the house.
