Media summary

Designed for a young family on a site on the outskirts of Orange, NSW, C House enjoys amazing views of Mount Canobolas and orchards surrounding the site.

The lower level of the house is partially cut into the site and topped with a green roof and clad in white precast concrete panels that give way to fine timber cladding and expansive timber framed windows at the northern end where the living areas open up to the garden the pool, and bush views at the back.

Secondary sleeping spaces sit in the upper level in a playful ‘y’ shaped dual gabled forms which are oriented to capture northern and eastern light, and key views,
A myriad of building services are seamlessly integrated and largely unseen to the everyday users of the house with the final result being a series of calm, stripped back yet warm spaces for the owners.
