Red Exterior Design Ideas with a Gable Roof

Nulla Vale is a small dwelling and shed located on a large former grazing site. The structure anticipates a more permanent home to be built at some stage in the future. Early settler homes and rural shed types are referenced in the design. The Shed and House are identical in their overall dimensions and from a distance, their silhouette is the familiar gable ended form commonly associated with farming sheds. Up close, however, the two structures are clearly defined as shed and house through the material, void, and volume. The shed was custom designed by us directly with a shed fabrication company using their systems to create a shed that is part storage part entryways. Clad entirely in heritage grade corrugated galvanized iron with a roof oriented and pitched to maximize solar exposure through the seasons. The House is constructed from salvaged bricks and corrugated iron in addition to rough sawn timber and new galvanized roofing on pre-engineered timber trusses that are left exposed both inside and out. Materials were selected to meet the clients’ brief that house fit within the cognitive idea of an ‘old shed’. Internally the finishes are the same as outside, no plasterboard and no paint. LED lighting strips concealed on top of the rafters reflect light off the foil-backed insulation. The house provides the means to eat, sleep and wash in a space that is part of the experience of being on the site and not removed from it.

A cobblestone driveway is in keeping with the era and an attractive hard wearing asset to the home and garden leading to the new garage and verandah.

a run down and neglected home has been renovated and extended to create a stunning family home. A new brick fence frames a portico entrance and the dormer windows to the upper level break the vast roof line to soften the streetscape.

Ferienhaus "Björkö" ist ein ökologisch gebautes Schwedenhaus.

Stephen Samuel RIBA - Building upon the existing vernacular of this eighteenth century Blacksmith's Forge and Cottage, this dwelling has been remodelled to provide an extremely comfortable six bedroom private residence, whilst emphasising traditional vernacular features typical of this part of Eastern England. The bricks are all handmade in the village from local clays and the clay pantiles locally sourced, reducing carbon transportation costs, the gable brickwork constructed to emphasise an intricate "dutch tumbling-in" feature, traditional to this part of Eastern England. Note the "bullnose" brickwork used to all fenestrated openings and on the external corners! The windows are all composite aluclad timber windows with a "U" Value of 1.25W/m2K. Excellent performance characteristics, finished in "sage green" or "french vanilla" as evident on the building.

With a heritage overlay that dictated the original facade was to remain unchanged, the entire renovation had to be invisible from the street. The addition of a second storey, a double height entertaining area, outdoor kitchen, swimming pool and double garage to the rear, all had to be created behind the roof line of the original house, to be hidden from the street.
