1. Home On The Range |
A
new Sydney architectural firm, Noxon Giffen, has
created a contemporary and welcoming home in the
beautiful bushland setting of Victoria's Mornington
Peninsula. Located in the rural community of Main
Ridge, known for its boutique wineries and produce,
the farm house is home to a young farming family,
who are in the process of setting up a goat cheese
making operation on the property. See how LYSAGHT®
products are incorporated in the design:

2. Pressure's Off For Injured Horses |
Horses
are following the country's top athletes on the
road to recovery from injury thanks to the development
of the world's first horse hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
Designed by Melbourne based company, Fink Engineering,
the first equine chamber was installed at Flemington
in May 2004. Coffs Harbour-based engineers W.E.
Smith Hudson were enlisted to build the chamber
using various grades of XLERPLATE® steel from
BlueScope Steel:

3 . Steel Framing - A Huge Opportunity |
The
residential steel framing market represents a
largely untapped opportunity for Australia's building
industry, where sometimes negative and often incorrect
perceptions are holding back a potentially lucrative
market. Builders who have switched to steel framing
find that many of their previous perceptions regarding
working with the product don't match the reality.

4. Making Complex Design Easy |
Complex
building designs are now far easier to construct
thanks to steel framing, which is allowing builders
to attempt jobs that were previously considered
too difficult. Being stronger and lighter than
alternative framing materials, steel has made
wall frames, floor joists and roof trusses much
easier to handle and install. Read how ZINCALUME®
steel assisted owner builder Vlado Semjaniv with
construction of his new home:
