Robust and compact, this home in the town of Aireys Inlet, a few hours south of Melbourne, combines bushfire resilience and energy efficiency while minimising ecological disruption. Made from repurposed shipping containers, its T-shaped design frames breathtaking views while nestled into the hillside.
The kitchen, with its robust materiality, is an extension of its natural green surroundings, drawing the gaze outward. Adding to this sense of immersion, the appliances – a CombiCookTop and CombairSteamer – dissolve into the space with their mirrored, pared-back design.
Tamsin O’Neill and Tom Bodycomb are the founders of the independent publisher Green Press, established in 2007. Partners in life and work, each publication helmed by the pair has a focus on sustainability.
“The appliances were key, and we researched and felt that the brand that suited us best was the one most committed to the environment.” Tamsin O’Neill, editor, Green Magazine
