taking advantage of the surrounding idyllic forestry, the rendered brick walls envelope the dwelling to create a protective compound which simultaneously offers privacy from the busy main road, and ensures its security. the humble design composed of timber, concrete and zinc has given the home a character that masks its pre-fabricated nature. the long, linear form takes advantage of the northern sun, while connecting to the green mountain landscape beyond.
