The High Residence in Rutherglen is a contemporary four-bedroom, two-bathroom family home designed with sustainability at its core. Positioned to capitalise on northern views, the home integrates the living, kitchen, meals, and alfresco areas to maximise natural light and scenic vistas of the iconic ‘Wine Bottle’.

This home employs passive solar design principles to ensure comfort across Rutherglen’s broad temperature range. Strategic placement of windows, walls, and floors optimises the collection, storage, and distribution of solar energy, aiding in heating during winter and cooling in summer. Features like polished concrete floors and extended eaves enhance this effect while contributing to the home’s modern aesthetic.

Externally, the house showcases a blend of materials designed to integrate with the local environment and withstand the harsh Australian climate. Recycled bricks add a traditional touch, while Weathertex timber cladding complements the natural surroundings. Additionally, vibrant Colorbond corrugated cladding provides a modern contrast, known for its durability and low maintenance needs.

Overall, the High Residence combines practical design with stylish elements to create a home that is both a comfortable living space and a harmonious addition to its landscape.
