The house is situated to take advantage of the natural environment and features durable materials such as corrugated galvanised metal and cypress macrocarpa cladding.

    Yet again the channel brings a stunning, ground-breaking and sustainable family home. Yes a home! It has to work on so many levels. Siting, environment and the seasons. Why would you need more? I would live there in a heart-beat. In some ways basic yet it is designed to become part of the landscape and equally a family home. Love it! BRD Studio this is superb! Thank you for sharing.

    It reminds me of "Case en tôle" in Réunion island from my childhood. It was a typical construction for poor people with a lot of "tôle" (sheet metal). I love it !

    It doesn't feel small. Love the generous sized covered entrance, just what you need when 5 people are getting out of their rubber boots😊

    I'm not sure🤔 if they showed the master bedroom(?)😉 Personally,🤪 it don't have enough rooms for a family of five🫡, even if someone comes as a guest in a couple of years later(?)( especially when every child wants their own room )😅😅😅
    and everything else is great 🎉

      @@SimpleDwelling given the availability of the materials, I feel a biophilic design should be budget friendly nonetheless in a rural setting.

    • @SimpleDwelling

      You’re right, the basic elements of biophilic design shouldn’t cost much. But a good amount of the budget was spent on the off-grid solar system, extra insulation and double-glazed windows.
