Heading content
The primary aim of this project is to demonstrate how a functional, energy efficient home utilising interesting materials can be achieved within a modest footprint and for a cost that makes it more attainable to a greater proportion of the population.
The home is set on an acreage, with a north aspect, on the Midnorth Coast of NSW. The house is a modern, functional and energy efficient small home, totally disconnected from the grid that engages the occupants with the natural beauty of the site. The use of hardwoods, upcycled materials and plywood create a natural, relaxed atmosphere in the home.
