Reduce, Re-use, Recycle. The brief called for a sustainable home through compact design. The final design comprises of 3 compact bedrooms, a study and an open plan living space, opening onto a covered patio. Configured as an H, the layout maximizes North orientation and privacy by creating a private courtyard between the two sheds. A small splash pool off the patio leads to an indigenous garden, watered by means of harvested rainwater.
