This beautiful, sustainable home situated in a small block that backs on to the River Parade Reserve in Barwon Heads, is the product of considered collaboration between the owners, the builder and the RUBI Architects team. A clever design response to planning overlays and awkward site access, allowing the family to enjoy ample views of the surrounding vegetation and riverbank, with interior spaces filled with natural light complimenting a lifestyle that is centred around family time, enjoying common spaces and their connection to the great outdoors.

A careful selection of low maintenance, natural materials that responds to the coastal context, plus a high priority given to passive design principles allow this house to be part of the environment with minimal energy use and carbon footprint
