DETAILS: This new house, designed by Richard Cole Architects on a rural property in Matcham, NSW, fully leverages its elevated position and stunning views by opening generously to the surrounding landscape, even though it is situated in a bushfire flame zone. Built to withstand severe weather conditions, this resilient home features durable materials and cleverly concealed retractable shutters that serve as sunshades, provide security, and offer bushfire protection.
