House on Discovery Coast, Australia, by Bark Design Architects

该地点的植被是在设计过程中绘制出来的，房子的足迹必须进行调整，以使影响最小。

Nestled within the beach's sand dunes and endemic vegetation, the house is strongly linked to its sensitive yet gorgeous natural surroundings, as well as the area's architectural history

Referencing elements from the area's traditional fishing and beach huts in the house's form and structure, the architects worked with a series of sustainable materials; corrugated iron, fibro-cement sheet cladding and locally sourced hardwoods

Light and transparent, it makes the most of the area's pleasant climate with its indoor/outdoor relationships through a series of timber lounge decks and viewing platforms

The house is designed to tread as lightly on its environment as possible

Further eco-friendly features include clerestory glazing, to capture daylight and encourage natural cooling, and solar panels to take care of the owners' energy needs. Rainwater is also harvested and reused.

The house is a responsive and green addition to a natural, fragile setting
