The end result is a stunning mid-century modern-inspired four bedroom, three bathroom home with a guest studio,
home office, media room and a double garage / car port.
The home is separated into a living area pavilion and sleeping area pavilion, which is connected by a breezeway
space centred on a converted precast water tank swimming pool surrounded by a timber deck.
The home is completely off-grid and is self-sufficient for power, waste and water, featuring Solar, an Ozzi Kleen
waste treatment system and 45,000 litre rainwater tanks.
The house was masterfully constructed by Aaron Griggs and the team from Lions Pride Building, who have had
experience using some of the Bondor product range previously.

Aaron’s dedication to the project is evident in the quality of the finishes. The Lions Pride team bought practical solu-
tions to achieve some of the unique details evident in the design.

“We used SolarSpan® roofing – the trimdek profile colour COLORBOND® Basalt® and simple skillion pitch roof
allowed the roofline to follow and blend in with the natural sloping contour of the site,” Matt said.

“It provided insulation and enabled clear simple spans without structure to improve construction time. The under-
side profile’s elegance allowed for the mid-century (country style) theme to be introduced to the home offering
texture and light.

“Insulwall® for the walls allowed for a unified structural insulated panel system, which with the COLORBOND® steel
Surfmist® Matt finish, enabled a durable and prefinished wall. Great with kids in mind.

“Luxewall® was used to finish and insulate the recycled shipping containers we used in the project for service / wet
areas and the guest studio.”

Other Bondor panels were used for window hoods and awnings these provided a simple method to provide shade
and weather protection for the windows on the flat façade and creates 3D effects to the façade.

“We’re only 30 kilometres outside of the city yet we’re completely off the grid; I often joke with the kids that we
could survive the zombie apocalypse here,” Matt said.
