A rapid response rebuild after the devastating Canberra bushfires.  Alloy frames prefabricated in our Sydney Workshop were shipped to site for assembly on AAC blockwork bases.  The site responsive layout forms a multiple pavilion courtyard house around gardens, pools, food gardens, orangeries and bush gardens with fire retardant plantings.  A fire-proof core defends against repeat of the loss.  Passive Solar and active response systems.
