Mt Egerton House
Wathaurong Country
(Built)
Mt Egerton House is a small house for a small family.
Set in the bush and built, on a budget, to Bushfire Attack Level 40, the house was heavily constrained by a tight block with minimal exposure to the sun in a cold climate. Simple design decisions and material selections resulted in a bright, warm and connected home. Each space benefited from sun at the right time of day at the right time of year with the brick floors helping to retain heat in what was, otherwise, a lightweight build.
