"As stated in the design brief, I was commissioned to design a contemporary and energy efficient house for a growing family. The site for the design is a 20-acre property located in the Adelaide Hills wine region. The brief stated the aesthetics of the design must capture the sensational views using large windows, but was to maintain single story. The form was to include a slanted, inclined roof-line to facilitate these views. Another significant requirement was to implement a variety of recycled or recyclable building materials for sustainability. The function required a spacious home for a family, fitted with an open living, dining and kitchen space, one master bedroom, two double bedrooms, and a double garage."
