Cashmore House, designed by Lachlan Shepherd Architects, references historical modernist architectural principals, whereby living zones and bedrooms operate surrounding a central north-facing courtyard.
The home is comprised of a simple, paired-back palette with a central spine of precast concrete anchoring the building and creating a mass element to contrast the light-weight, expressed-steel skeleton.
