From Architects : ” This Kyneton house on a leafy well established street is a variation on the common single room width house typology. Stretching East to West across the site, the dynamic double skill-ion roofs provide ample northern light into every room in the house. A central spine between the two roofs splits the house into public and private functions and visually connects the entrance of the home to the sculptural forms of the rear garden. The home thermally performs exceptionally due to ample thermal mass to the south, double glazed windows to the north, long eaves, and a sub-floor airspace to stabilize the diurnal range. Beautifully put together by the owner David Emery, who brought his cabinet making sensibility to the intricately crafted detailing. ”
