Text description provided by the architects. The brief was the creation of a home celebrating the surrounding architectural vernacular but with a modern, contemporary interpretation. A structure with rural character but with an appropriateness to function imbedded deep in its design. A close connection between the house, pool, courtyard and the rural landscape is ever prevalent as horses and cattle wander unexpectedly into close view peering inquisitively through framed floor to ceiling windows at the family activity miss a good story - subscribe to our daily this picture!

Utilitarian in nature this same vernacular was a key component of the brief. However in a departure from these rudimentary structures, a dynamism and energy reveals itself in the roof line. Appearing to fold and crease, bend and pleat it celebrates the surrounding landscape of ridges and crests, ranges and rugged elevations. At first hidden from view, the roof line unfolds on approach, revealing itself fully on arrival in a playful origami of angles and immediately announcing the modernist approach this picture!
