The project
43 north architecture designed this house in a rugged, bushfire-prone landscape for a gallery owner and a professor whose home works as a cultural meeting place, with daily visitors and art that changes with each artist in residence.
To meet the site's bushfire requirements, the long, low house uses Corten steel, blackbutt and aluminium under a broad, light roof. A breezeway cuts through the plan to frame the bush, and simple white interiors give the art a changing backdrop.
