Glass House Mountains

This residence reflects the same angular lines of the Glasshouse Mountains. Natural materials of the 'tin and timber' principle have been used with dramatic effect to complement the location. 

A continuous roof plane with plywood soffits link the internal and external living zones, providing a dramatic 'hat' to the house. Some internal walls, act only as partitions to further enhance the volume effect internally. 

Extensive use of windows and louvre's provide year round natural ventilation and can be adjusted to suit the climate, while also providing abundant natural light. Careful orientation and layout has provided strategic views of the mountains from the most internal rooms, and also capitalises on seasonal aspects with the exterior deck areas.
