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 week starting 7th February

Work has continued on the timber stud-work walls and the terrace slab.  However, the big news of the week is that our windows and sliding doors are being fabricated in Sweden and should be ready for shipping to Australia next week.



This is the lintel and wall above the sliding door for the main bedroom

You can now see the profile of the roof line along the full length of the east facade

The east facade looking north

All the main internal walls are now in place

The trench has been dug to form the slot in the terrace slab for the swimming pool cover

Scaffolding has been erected along the hallway to give access to the construction of the roof


Fabricating our windows in Sweden - very exciting.
The two panel sliding doors are stacked for shipping in the background

This is the four panel sliding door that will be part of the north facade of the lounge.
It is 6.2m long and 2.5m high and weighs half a tonne!


In the foreground are the high level windows for the hallway
