merrijig house
2004

The Merrijig House is sited on
a rugged, windswept plain
with sweeping views across
the Victorian high country.

A simple series of gabled
forms is layered between
rammed earth walls which
shield the house from the

rigours of the weather, and
create protected outdoor spaces.

The muted palette of rammed
earth and weathered timber
links the house to the
silvered grasses of the
surrounding landscape.
