This twisting, curving organic family home is set into a granite outcrop close to the rural township of Yackandandah.

Thick straw bale walls are finished in an unpainted lime-cement render, and radial sawn timbers left to grey naturally over time. 

The burnished concrete floor has been ferrous-oxide stained, then wax finished, complementing the recycled brick and lime rendered interior. 

"Roman airconditioning" supplies fresh air drawn from two metres beneath the ground, where the temperature fluctuates considerably less than the outside air.
