Some precedents we have been looking at-
Both these architects capture a strong Aussie aesthetic.


TROPPO ARCHITECTS.
Rozak House, Noonamah, NT
-looks over Lake Bennett.




Reflects the rugged inhospitable terrain.
3 small scale structures linked by decks.
Essentially a series of verandahs.
Uses glass, timber, clear corrogated poly carbonate, fly screens.






And GREGORY BURGESS...
who has designed the cultural centres at many of Australia's significant landmarks (such as Uluru and the Twelve Apostles).

This series of images are from a variety of his works.







We were exploring forcing the rain to dance between our roof forms, making a spectacle, a feature out of the rain. I think that rain falling on Burgess' roofs would create a very dramatic affect.

His roof forms flow and bulge similarly to this picture taken at the site.
