Houses – Landscape integration

Houses are designed to integrate with the landscape. Building systems are designed to respond to the physical environment. Materials, colour and textures are complimentary with the landscape. Construction is kept simple, using local materials to ensure that local skills will be utilised and developed through the building process.
