Country House
By Noel Jessop Architecture
Type & GFA – Residential, 280m²
Year completed – 2008
Positioned on the family farms original cow-shed location, the country house pitches off the Knoll of the site, maintaining the integrity of the original site with little disturbance to the land
With a one room wide philosophy, a simple single black cedar structure accented by silver cedar screens floats on the site, providing visual connection to the east and to the western view while offering protection from the elements
Black sliding cedar screens provide texture to the large amounts of glazing while being adjustable to meet the occupant’s requirements in providing protection versus exposure to the farmland beyond
A dominant structure for a rural site although it sits perfectly amongst the natural back drop of existing paddocks and tree lines

Each project is analyzed for its special requirements and opportunities: the end result being not a preconceived idea but a combination of the client's requirements and desires, the site and the budget. Critical consideration is given to the project's specific environmental and historical location, and to the appropriate materials and construction methods of the locality.
NJA believes good design will produce sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces and buildings that have an enduring quality over time.
