G & L House

A series of pavilions and linkways creates the opportunity for discovered viewpoints and sheltered courtyards A simple palette of naturally sourced timber and long-life metal wall and roof cladding delivers a home that will endure with minimal ongoing attention. Flexible living space design has reduced the building footprint, to get more function from less. The external envelope has been manipulated to accentuate views and capture energy in the exposed concrete floor.
