The Vision
The Crawford River House is a masterful blend of sustainable design set against the stunning backdrop of Crawford River’s bushland. Utilising locally sourced charred timber and robust corrugated zincalume, the house requires minimal maintenance and harmonises beautifully with its surroundings.
Its passive heating and cooling design, featuring strategic orientation, shading, and cross-flow ventilation, ensures year-round comfort while reducing energy consumption. Distinct living and sleeping wings maximise functionality and connection to the landscape, with expansive windows inviting natural light and framing picturesque views.
The Crawford River House is a testament to thoughtful, environmentally conscious design, offering a timeless and sustainable living experience.
