Low Maintenance Home with Dark Exterior - Courtyard Somers house -

Somers Courtyard House is designed by Rowan Opat Architects, as that dark object that perfectly shadows of the surrounding bush land, an hour from Melbourne. Even if the house outside is made of dark wood inside and courtyard on the other hand have a lighter color. The ceilings of the house are made of cedar panels while floors and a radial cut wood desk. Using materials adds to the enduring qualities of the residence, which was designed to be very energy efficient. It operates independently of distribution of water, gas, sewerage and electricity. Catchment from heat and direct sunlight seasonal control have been refined to optimize passive solar efficiency. The house has the shape of the square with a courtyard. Thank you to all interior spaces are connected to those outdoor well. [Rowan Opat Architects]
