             the architectural intent of the house was to capture the australian landscape and its use of raw materials, the building is located in the blue mountains west

             of sydney.


             the building is built below the top of the hill and situated behind a row of trees, this is where the name of the invisible house name comes from, “invisible
             house can be there or cannot... if the roof, with water, reflects the sky this building will never be found-until its discovered” (peter stutchbury, 2008)

             the intent of the presentation is to portray the architects vision of creating a house that sits in the landscaping rather than sitting on top, by providing vistas

             of the landscape from each room with in the house.
