A commitment to a uniquely Australian style bought together architect David Moore and the owners of this Thornbury house which was to be renovated. A shared belief that this Australian Style can find its roots in the landscape and in natural and traditional materials was the starting point of the project, a belief that is manifested in this innovative and striking design. With a flair for colour and decoration as well as a taste for \"bush\" landscapes, the owners were involved in many aspects of the design and the result blends their ideas with architects skills. A simple plan evolved incorporating a bush pole as a central decorative and structural element in the kitchen below a gable window to provide open plan living dining and cooking.
