Marysville Rebuild
New Home - Completed November 2013
172sqm 3 Bedroom, 3 bathroom home on sloping sites.
Our family lost two homes, amongst other things in the bushfires of 2009. On two almost identical sites some 300m apart, we will be rebuilding this energy efficient, bushfire resistant design.
A typical home design would not suit the sloping site or take advantage of the views down the valley - only now apparent after the fires have removed many of the established trees. The houses are oriented due north, capturing both light and views down the valley, whilst turning their back on the hill from which the fire crashed down on Marysville in 2009.
Whilst the Bushfire Attack Level for both sites had been assessed at LOW, the home has been designed to meet BAL19 - Flame Zone with external cladding material substitutions and eave linings.
