New Residence - Completed

The owner of this new house is a keen fly fisherman, and the site edges on to the banks of the Goulburn river. The house is built from rammed earth, its forms deriving from the eddies and rivulets of water circulating and converging around the rocks in the river. A sweeping earth wall forms the public face and entry to the house, just visible behind heavy landscaped mounding. Internally, the wall creates carved and dynamic internal spaces, opening up to a softer rural vernacular along the river edge.
