Houzz Tour: A Farm Update in contact with its environment - Like many houses built in the 1960s, the Australian firm was simple single-storey brick veneer bungalow, which was ordinary in any way. Far from taking in the magnificent views of the valley, this low-set home in the form of L-squatting close to the ground and was designed so that the living spaces were cold and blocked views. The owners, a retired couple wanted to take advantage of their glorious location with new living spaces that were more in touch with the environment. They asked the architect Noxon Giffen to design an extension that is not showy, but allow them to live the quiet life in complete comfort, and to accommodate their large extended family during their visit.
