Ocean Fire House employs a performance-based approach to building in bushfire prone landscapes. It synthesises energy efficiency and bushfire safey requirements by employing a grid-connected renewable energy system and fire-proof insulated concrete walls.
Sited adjacent a magnficent Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) forest to the north, northern winter light enters the 190m2 residence through strategically position clerestorey windows. This courtyard home frames expansive views of the ocean to the south while drawing active living to the sun-filled space framed between forest and architecture.
