Victoria
Off Grid House brings an extended family together in regional Victoria. Gables on each side ensure the views from the house capture the full aspect of the landscape, exposed rafters create a rich ornamentation, and textural use of sustainable timber achieves a rich aesthetic experience despite a restrained palette. The origami roofline seeks to reflect the topography of the surrounding environment; its colour mimicking the tones of the mountain rocks and the creek.
The Australian Institute of Architects acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, and skies of the continent now called Australia.
We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
