The Shire Residence

Location
Kyneton, VIC
Status
Completed 2016
Size
176m²
Type
Mudbrick residence

The architectural approach works within the existing environment to create a livable space and promote the concept of a 'healthy building'. The existing mudbrick structure is preserved, while internal layouts can be reconfigured as the household's needs evolve.

A cleanly composed family house includes an exterior living space to promote outdoor living. The redesigned home interfaces with the existing rural outbuildings and the surrounding agricultural landscape.
