This was our first major project in the Snowy Mountains region, south of Canberra.
Creating a big ‘wow factor’ was one of the main criteria, and we like to think we achieved that. We approached this house as if it were a sculpted object. It had to be a beautiful object that would look good from all angles if it were sitting on your desk.
The building had to be thoroughly engineered for the high winds and extreme temperatures experienced at the site. The house has 2 bedrooms and a loft upstairs, and a self contained one-bedroom apartment downstairs. Both areas have a cast concrete Japanese style hot tub, and we designed the custom shower system specifically for the apartment. The floors are polished concrete with in-slab hydronic heating.
Materials are steel, granite, polished concrete, timber and copper.
