Although extremely picturesque, this house by MRTN Architects is on fairly rough terrain. Former grazing land, the region has recently experienced severe drought – with much of the property denuded by grazing cattle. For the owners, wanting a new house on the fringe of Tamworth in northern New South Wales, the result shows what can be achieved when climate is as considered as the design – with the home receiving a regional architecture award from the Australian Institute of Architects (NSW Chapter).
Ever committed to sharing great design and architecture, Open Journal (OJ, ●) is a platform for us to promote ideas, curiosities and projects from across the globe alongside insights and conversations with the people who make up our vibrant communities. It’s also a great way to stay informed about Neometro activities and learn more about our values and approach.
