Description -- With exterior and dominant building material 'Corten' steel, the cube-upon-cube design reflects an 'aged' appearance when approaching the structure. Corten is a steel alloy that forms a protective layer of rust, which means it never needs painting.
There is extensive use of glass throughout the structure. The window design was crucial to allowing light and warmth into the house. This, combined with the architects' design for cantilevered eaves, attention to insulation and carefully sized double-glazed windows, ensures a balanced internal temperature all year round. Attention to weather extremes has meant that, rather than extending floor-to-ceiling, the windows are topped at 2.4m in height.
The views are extraordinary with internal walls deliberately angled towards specific landmarks and windows. At all times of the day, and night, the eye is drawn to a quite stunning panorama.
This striking home is situated on 4.5 acres and is surrounded by eucalypts, natives and fruit trees. Continuing the 'Different by Design' concept, an impressive blue metal 'skirt' encircles the house, acting as an efficient fire break while preventing any soils/clays being tracked inside.
The internal footprint, whilst open plan, is cleverly divided into two separate parts the living areas from the private. A four-car garage is included within the cube-on-cube structure and flows well with the whole design.
