Plumpton Road Wagga Wagga New Environmentally Sustainable Home
Completed in 2018, this spacious family home is set on a large suburban lot. It is designed in a contemporary style with an emphasis on active and passive environmental sustainable principles.
Design features which make this home unique include cantilevered walls protruding from the building footprint, standing seam metal cladding, stone blockwork and angled blade walls.
We were given an over-sized wedge shaped parcel of land to design this environmentally sustainable family home. It naturally leands itself towards a generously scaled L shape form with a central outdoor living area surrounded by native plants and other water saving elements.
To make the most of the natural light all year round, expanses of glass sliding doors and windows where strategically placed. This also allows for a soothing breeze to cross flow throughout the house, working with the dynamic Australian climate.
The design features strong sharp liner and angular forms which is complimented with earthy contemporary colours and textures. This is evident through the bold use of charcoal metal cladding juxtaposed with neutral coloured stone walls.
To further enhance the living spaces and blending of the indoors with the outdoors the site plan incorporates an open plan dining area on the verandah with views of the full-sized swimming pool, large eucalyptus trees and native grasses, which leads onto a garden ideal for a family to relax and entertain in, offering plenty of space for a veggie patch and even for chooks to run around!
