VISION 25 — DEEP LIGHT
Defined by a charcoal colored coated
steel and flush, double-glazing
of Viridian ThermoTech™ Grey
and Clear, the result is a heady fusion
that captures far horizon and
the more immediate sights and
scent of native bush.
Good design is an investment in
community wellness as much as
appearances and why it’s so vital
for our housing and cities. It’s why
Launceston’s Valley House blows away
any misconception about architecture
as an entitlement for a select few.
I
ntelligent design should conserve and harness, rather than
squander resources. And perhaps most importantly of all,
be reasonably affordable. Here the architect with plenty of
hands-on building experience brings practicality and careful
consideration to the table. Views and family connection
offer some surprising twists and turns with a house-asinstrument finely tuned to its climate and site.
Careful siting is the mark of something special and Philip
Dingemanse shows great touch in this rolling countryside.
It shows in the big picture right down to the fine grain.
The ridge-line pattern of steel cladding is enhanced by the
complimentary color of his glasswork as mosaic of gleam,
lustre and picture frame views.
