Welcome

We are the owners of a 1.4 hectare block of land on the Central Coast.

The site includes areas of rainforest which have been badly overrun by non-native plants. Our project is to restore the rainforest and to build an environmentally sustainable house on the site.

This blog records the bush regeneration work we are undertaking and the progress on building the house.

Photos from 11th December

Wow!  If you compare the photos from today with those of last weekend you will see an amazing leap forward.  The floor slab has been cast, a significant amount of the west retaining wall has been completed and the steelwork has been erected.

The guys are making the most of the good weather and are trying to get as much done as possible before the summer break.

The steel frame for the lounge roof

Formwork for casting the swimming pool walls

We can now get a real sense of the scale of the house against the bush - it feels right

The north end is the tallest part of the house but it doesn't stand out from the scale of the surrounding trees
