This Month's Feature Article
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. Pyramid of Steel

A new eye-catching gypsum storage silo can be seen in the Sydney Ports facility in Rozelle, New South Wales. Constructed for Gypsum Resources Australia (GRA), the 4,800 square metre store is an unusual shape and design that overcame some challenging building constraints.

3. 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. Read more about how COLORBOND® steel was used as wall cladding to reflect the rural town's natural environment:

4. 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 about the award winning Tiwi Gardens Aged Care Facility:

5. 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:

The apartments feature curved sprung roofs to soften the form of the buildings. Find out why BlueScope Lysaght’s premier roofing profile, LYSAGHT CUSTOM ORB® in Windspray®, was used for the roofs:
