Project Description

The design brief for Rockhill was to create a bold and striking contemporary home that took full advantage of the stunning Northerly views from the lower slopes of Kennedys Bush. Be highly thermally/energy efficient, have a variety of outdoor areas to mitigate the prevailing winds while maximizing the all-day sun. The material pallet has been kept simple; textured precast concrete façade panels provide a raw, strong and primal base element for the home. Yet the secondary elements of polished composite aluminum eyebrows, exposed steel frames and natural timber decking provide a sophisticated contrast.
