Sean Godsell’s Green Glenburn House
Although it was completed a year ago, Sean Godsell’s Glenburn House is still worth revisiting. Nestled within the rolling hillsides approximately 1.5 hours drive north east of Melbourne, Australia, the Glenburn House is a beacon of sustainable design. The building skin includes solar collectors for generating electricity and hot water. Other passive features include double glazing, rainwater harvesting and digital power management.
The house is a long, linear gesture carved into an undulating landscape. This linear plan is enhanced by the architects’ barcode motif. Within the home, a series of organized spaces results in a coded arrangement that is unique to the client. Somewhat of a “tectonic thumbprint” for living.
