Designer: Zac Jensen + Claire Gear

Emboldened by the notion that good design can dramatically change the way we live for the better, we believe the most sustainable architecture is that which endures through rigorous design and appropriate response to site. Collaborative studies in Scandinavia, and studios with architects such as Glenn Murcutt, has inspired us with a design aesthetic that is clearly modern, yet emphasizes a rich materiality.

Melissa: A flip in orientation for the Southern Hemisphere and a sheltered deck and this would be perfect on our rainforest property in Australia. The thermal properties and the vaulted ceilings would also work for our summer.
