Smokey Grove House

 This project was a fairly simple, “Natural Farm House” built on a farm just outside of Tree Sisters.

The clients had seen the Light Steel Frame concept and decided that they wanted a “Green” house, with the minimum disruption of the natural farm environment whilst construction was in progress. The only special requirement was that the client wanted exposed “timber” trusses internally.

Because of the extreme temperature in the area it was imperative that the house would be as insulated and energy efficient as possible. The conclusion was walls with an overall thickness of 133mm, an R Value of 3.69 and a fire rating of 30 minutes.

The client was very happy with the final outcome.
