The final reveal: An off-grid masterpiece at Neerim Junction. 🏔️✨
After showing you where it started and the work in the dirt, we are thrilled to share the incredible completed home. Reaching this milestone is a proud moment for our structural and civil engineering teams.
Elevated above the valley’s cloud line at the southern foothills of the Great Dividing Range, this home is a true celebration of the breathtaking Australian landscape, commanding panoramic views towards the Yarra Ranges & Mount Buller. ☁️🦅
From the engineering and construction standpoint, bringing this fluid, curved form to life was an incredible journey. The design elegantly follows the contour of the hillside to capture the stunning views and optimise solar orientation.
Some of our favorite technical highlights of the build include:
The Rammed Earth Spine: A massive, curved rammed earth wall that sweeps along the landscape, providing privacy, warmth, and protection.
Solidity vs. Transparency: The heavy tactility of the earth contrasts beautifully with the lightweight charred timber cladding and high-performance glazing on the northern facade.
The Layout: A thoughtful linear composition featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, and an expansive open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area.
Best of all, the dwelling is a testament to sustainable construction and engineering. Fully off-grid, it utilizes solar energy, harvested rainwater, and on-site waste management systems to achieve a phenomenal 8.5 Star NatHERS energy rating. 🌟🌱
A huge congratulations to the entire team involved in delivering a home that is as robust as it is beautiful.
