ArchitectureM is currently working on a project to create a family home with facilities for education and care included. In the design of the project, we worked with sculptor Brian Proctor to create a facade of natural form and shape from local sandstone inspired by the surrounding country landscape. Once completed, the formwork will serve as both part of the building and an example of local craftsmanship which will be observed by visitors to the project’s facilities. The building itself is embedded into the ground and covered by a green roof reducing its visual impact creating a gentle connection with the area. A rainwater harvesting unit has been built in to the surrounding greenery wherein the harvested water is filtered before being stored for use.
