The architects rural home a heritage project passed down from the family. It is an experiment in traditional materials, off the wall forms, retrofitting passive solar and generally rural living on a low budget. Materials: include Glenrowan Granite, Euroa clay tiles, Bush Poles Curved Zincalums, Recycled Weatherboard, Blue Gum Beams, Recycled Bricks, Glass Bricks, Compressed Cement Sheet Flooring. \"The building now comprises a unique mixture of original and new timbers, stonework, clays and corrugated iron along with his trademark circular windows that David often places in many of his projects. In the design process, a lot of thought has been extended to the orientation to improve its solar efficiency, including a solar hot water service. With Lurg being notorious for bush fires David has installed a sprinkler system onto the roof of the home which can be turned on in case of fire.\" Benalla Design Supplement June 1996
