12 LITTLE THREDBO RD
LAKE CRACKENBACK NSW

Our second commission within the Lake Crackenback Resort, this house was designed to be highly compatible with our first design, number 13.

The dynamic angular roof peaks and deck balustrades tilt towards the snow-capped Great Dividing Range, just a few kilometres and 1,000m above the site.

Construction is in masonry, steel and timber with structural elements and external materials chosen for their ability to withstand the fierce weather experienced at the site. 100km/hr winds are not uncommon, as are driving blizzards in the winter and 30 degree days in the summer.

Extensive insulation and solar passive design minimise energy consumption.

The building feautures a self contained apartment with a loft space, and a 3 bedroom residence with enourmous north facing living areas. The Sydney-based client has a large family and this layout suits their needs and also maximises the holiday rental return.
