The Avenel House by Paul Morgan Architects

With natural environment this house is very comfortable to live in all seasons. Situated on an expansive property in Australia’s South-Eastern state of Victoria, the design of this four-bedroom house has been inspired by the environmental conditions of this exposed rural setting. All the rooms are very wide that have fresh and natural air since they have good air circulation. The ecological conditions of the site – prevailing winds, path of the sun, granitic geology – have been used to generate formal qualities of the design. This house is designed with wide yard and free space in its location. From this house, the owners can see the scenery around it. The house was sited high enough to maximize the view from the house but low enough so that the view of the brow of the hill and the silhouette of trees was not disturbed. This house uses good and natural materials. The design combines both the alien object – an aerodynamic, lightweight metal skin and roof with the embedded – a more massive stone base. Since it uses stone as the base, this house is very tough resistant from falling down.
