1. Funky Retreat with Caravan Style |
The
rounded shapes of 1960s caravans were the inspiration
behind the dramatic design of an upmarket holiday
home in Hepburn Springs, Victoria. Designed especially
for professional couples on romantic weekend getaways,
the home offers luxury accommodation overlooking
a stunning state forest. Find out how designer Graham
Jones used COLORBOND® steel to achieve the home's
unique shape:

2. Library Reflects Community Vitality |
The
striking design of a new community library building
is helping to highlight the vitality of the rural
Victorian community of Kerang. Architects Greenway
Hirst Page Pty Ltd designed the library to represent
a pile of books tossed upon the ground and roughly
assembled to create dramatic sculptural forms.

as wall cladding to reflect the rural town's natural
environment:

3. Steel Colours Tropical Aged Care Centre |
A
new Darwin aged care center has received the National
Lifestyle Housing for Seniors Award from the Master
Builders Association for its village style design
and use of colour. Exuberant use of COLORBOND® steel
is a hallmark of the facility, where almost every
colour in the range is featured. Find out more

Facility:

4. A Little Bit of Bush in Brunswick |
An
environmental lawyer's dramatic home renovation
amid the gum trees of an inner city Melbourne street
is pushing new boundaries of colour in design.
The recently renovated 1890s Victorian house in
Brunswick showcases a striking colour scheme. Find
our why architect Stephen Staughton chose to use
COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel to
create this dynamic structure:

roofs to soften the form of the buildings. Find
