Modern house architecture design is done by Bourne Blue Architecture. this house architects have designed the Kurreki House in the small town of Seal Rocks, Sydney, Australia. This unique house design is built for a holiday house. The building focuses to the central space to minimize the amount of external glazing thus reducing the amount of expensive bushfire treatments. It improves the sense of privacy and enclosure to the outdoor living area. The surrounding internal roof edge allows protected circulation under the eaves, reduces the built form and blurs the indoor/outdoor transition. It also frames a sky view which is animated at night by the lighthouse beam passing overhead. A wet composting worm farm treats sewage, the roof feeds to 27000 L of water storage for domestic use, with an additional 15000L for firefighting. For extra protection a pump supplies the fire fighting sprinklers at roof and garden level with the domestic supply. Some of this lands on the roof, then recirculates, extending the protection time. via
