Venus Bay House
The project was a creative collaboration with our clients. The site is 18 acres of tea tree and banksia on a sand spit. This small house is in the tea tree on a north-facing ridge and uses 'extreme fire risk category' construction techniques, integrating a cladding collage of recycled corrugated sheet steel that ties the building thematically with the region and the textures of the site.
