The location of this house in the hill side of Pelourus Sound constrain the Tennent + Brown Architects to adopt the strategy of heli-lifting nearly prefinished buildings and subfloor frames to minimise the need for site labour. The idea of towers reflected the singular quality of the private spaces and suited the lifting approach. The communal building built parallel to the water below, and extends out each end providing morning and evening outdoor spaces so it can receive sun protected from the land and sea breezes.
The louver along with cladding of profiled coated aluminium, give the building the appearance of shipping containers and huts sitting on the hillside. The interiors were dominated in white and the exposed steel work was required for the extreme wind zone and loads exerted during flying.
Electricity is made on demand by a remote diesel generator and photovoltaics, and gas is used for water heating and cooking to minimise electricity loads. A biolytix septic tank suited the long periods of no use and rain water is collected from the roofs.
