Love Shack
The inspiration for this house design came from the homeland of one of the clients, Russia.
She loved the look and feel of a traditional log cabin and together with Sam Karamfiles, they designed a home that blends effortlessly with the surrounding environment, stayed true to the original vision and focused on an energy efficient layout.
The clients specified a number of unique inclusions to this house, including a wood fired sauna, double glazed hopper/sash windows with solid shutters and an open stone fireplace. The result is a home that suits their lifestyle and showcases the high quality of workmanship of the builder and the sub-contractors.
The house is timber frame construction clad with cedar and metal roof, featuring blackbutt floors throughout. The home is self sufficient for power and water using a generator with battery backup and inverter and two self contained rainwater tanks.
The home is on a challenging site, with limited access, where prior to construction of access roads all materials where carted to site by skid steer loader. The difficulties faced during construction are now paying off because the builder achieved the clients' brief, the outlook of the home is stunning and privacy and security of the residence is optimum.
