house general
The rural associations of corrugated iron give it a an organic sense of engagement with the Australian landscape. In this project, the exterior of the house, clad in corrugated iron, nestles into the native Australian garden. Less formal and less precious than other building materials, corrugated iron is available in different gauges of thickness and different size corrugations that give both light and textural effects.

Use in beach houses Set within in the bushland of Australia’s coastal region, this house is sensitive to its surrounding environment. Using corrugated iron and ventilating louvres, the architect has explored the dynamics of light and shadow, the filtering of natural breezes and the integration of indoors and out. The horizontal corrugations mesh beautifully and effectively with the louvres to keep both a visual and sensory air of lightness about the house.
