This four-bedroom family residence is situated on an elevated site outside the township of Mansfield, offering panoramic views of Mt Buller and benefiting from a north-facing orientation. The architectural design draws inspiration from the pitched roofs of rural farm structures, echoing the surrounding mountain range. The plan is organised around a central landscaped courtyard that provides natural garden views from surrounding rooms and acting like a lung to ventilate the house by drawing cooling breezes through the planted court.

Visitors are welcomed by a striking timber-lined entry sequence that leads into the heart of the house, with access into the home via a large doorway off the central courtyard. Expansive glass panels flank the main living area, providing uninterrupted views of the Victorian Alps and Great Dividing Range.
Addressing the considerable temperature variations between winter and summer months, the home incorporates several key energy-efficient features. These include a 140mm thick external wall envelope for enhanced thermal insulation, a high-performance building membrane, and thermally broken windows. Additionally, the design features projecting eaves that offer effective shading during the summer months while permitting sunlight penetration in winter, contributing to the home's low energy consumption.
