Coming soon, read the full story of our Buln Buln House in the print edition, Issue 17 of The Local Project - to be released in March 2025.
Nestled within the lush, pristine West Gippsland landscape, this singular design enhances the natural beauty of its site—where architecture and sculpture become one.
Perched on a gentle rise with views of Mt Baw Baw to the north and rolling farmland to the south, this multigenerational family home comprises thoughtfully arranged single-story volumes following the ridge line. Deliberate level changes define distinct zones within the house, emphasized through subtle shifts in materials and spatial volumes.
As you move through the house, the surrounding landscape gradually reveals itself, with architectural elements framing and highlighting different views of the building within its setting.
This project exemplifies our dedication to processional spaces, volumetric exploration, and the creation of delightful residential environments.
Working closely with our client, who is a builder by trade, the details were resolved collaboratively. The clients guided the brick material choice, having had a long association with Krause Bricks, so brick was always central to the architectural concept.
Most importantly, our clients Jodie and Bernie are thrilled with their home, telling us they "could never have imagined this result when we first met".
“There was this idea that we frame the views of the landscape with the house, control what is seen and highlight special parts of the landscape”
