Perched on the banks of Edgars Creek, this house is in symphony with the natural environment. Echoing its bushland context, the house embodies a raw, earthy quality featuring a rammed earth facade and ironbark cladding.
Divided into three pavilions for living, sleeping, and bathing, each pavilion borders a central courtyard which connects the house to the landscape of striking ironbark trees and the meandering creek. This custom-built home connects seamlessly to its environment and will be sure to impress visitors for years to come.
