The Johanna House is designed by Nicholas Burns on the 100 acres site of pristine bush land located on Johanna beach, Victoria, Australia. No trees were cleared in the construction of the house so it has minimum impact on the surround environment. The house made of glass, steel, concrete and rammed earth and has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Big glass sliding wall doors help to connect indoors and outdoors all around the house and capture stunning views of the ocean and the bush’s flora and fauna. The most amazing feature of house’s interior design is the impressive fireplace that is placed in the centre of the living area. Nicholas Burns associates describe their creation as “a discrete insertion into the landscape”, and it really is.

House With Five Meter High Windows
The house by Scott Salisbury Homes is one of HIA best house of the 2008 year award winners. One of the main house feautres is spectacular main facade with awesome five-metre-hight commercial grade windows. Thanks to it all great views around the house are captured.
Although beauty isn’t only cool thing about the house. It’s very comfortable and “green”. Walk-in pantry is great for cooking. Light and airy central courtyard make relaxing with a book not just cool but awesome. Although its comfy not only in courtyard. The house has excellent cross ventilation and zoned light and air conditioning programming. The hot water system is powered by solar energy. The house has minimal energy costs.
