Floor Area: 80m2
Complete: Dec 2007

The simple form of the house was intended to reflect the agricultural buildings in the surrounding landscape. The brief included space for a single bed space with en suite, study, separate shower /utility, bathroom and open plan public space. The simple open plan organisation of the building was designed to be a flexible living space with potential to close off certain areas when needed. The house gains volume on its small footprint by a series of Douglas Fir rafters which are curved at the ridge and sit onto the kit.
