Cedar Creek (QLD)
When architect Matt Riley first saw the 25-acre property at Cedar Creek in the picturesque Samford Valley west of
Brisbane, he had a vision of designing a sustainable ‘off the grid’ home for his growing family of six.
“Primarily we wanted the house to be as sustainable as possible and as open as possible while blending into the
landscape,” Matt said.
“We designed the home to be long and low, orientated to the North / North West, so that it would sit into the slop-
ing site to maximise the all-encompassing views and engagement with the surrounding landscape.
“We took mid-century modern inspirations to design courtyards, decks and other hard landscape spaces that blend-
ed the inside and outside spaces.
“We needed to meet the requirements of BAL (bushfire safety) while minimising the damage to the surrounding
bush environment during the build process.
“Given the general isolation of the project, we also needed a prefinished panel system that minimised delivery, time
on site to lock up and enabled hand-based construction rather than machine assisted.”
Bondor’s LuxeWall®, InsulWall®, SolarSpan®, BondorPanel® insulated panel and roofing products provided Matt
with all he needed to make his ‘off grid’ vision a reality.
