DAM House

The DAM House by renowned architect firm Pleysier Perkins is a testament to thoughtful architectural design that harmonizes with its environment. Nestled within the expansive landscapes of Main Ridge, Victoria, this country retreat is a celebration of nature and modern living. The design philosophy centres on a passive solar approach, ensuring that each of the three pavilions not only enjoys the natural beauty of the surroundings but also operates with energy efficiency. The use of robust materials like concrete blocks and polished concrete floors serves a dual purpose: they are low-maintenance and provide significant thermal mass, contributing to the building's sustainability. The integration of advanced systems such as the AirSmart Indoor Environment System, heat pumps, and the Nest Learning Thermostat, along with hydronic in-slab heating, ensures a comfortable and eco-friendly indoor climate. This residence is a prime example of how contemporary architecture can create spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally conscious.
