Australian Architect Glenn Murcutt winner of the Pritzker Architecture prize in 2002, designed this home nestled in the wilderness with a unique property. The home itself is protected by zinc panels used to defend against potential wildfires. What’s also interesting is that this home was angled to preserve as much of the surrounding wildlife as possible.

This project, along with many others that Murcutt has designed, took a full decade to complete. Honestly, it was worth the wait because the character that the room above shows is hard to replicate. The home is surrounded by wilderness whilst having a modern interior makes it that more interesting to me.
