Reminiscent of the vernacular country tin shed, Prospect House is a small home on a large block. Galvanised steel and raw ironbark cladding blends with the landscape, the form appearing as if excavated from a contour. The raw exterior palette contrasts with rich interiors; warm window boxes of cow hide upholstery, whilst pastel green tile accents compliment mild steel framing and lime-wash ply joinery.

Internally the planning is simple and compact with a central timber core of messmate battens on acoustic fabric. The kitchen and wet areas not only work as a planning device spatially but also work to provide acoustic warmth and privacy. Windows are positioned to channel view to the landscape, capture northern winter sun and direct cooling breezes.

Prospect House is small, efficient, warm and light. It is about the exploration of a simple, sustainable way of life.
