Ross Creek House banner

"This generously proportioned house is set among trees with bush-clad views toward the Ross Creek valley. Its simple horizontal lines and vertical divisions of space give it a serene connection to the outside world in a delightful and uncomplicated way. The clever use of natural light and materials – wood, textured concrete, steel and glass – lends an ethereal quality."
