Yarck House

Yarck, Victoria 2008

We acknowledge the Taungurung and Wurundjeri  Peoples of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Yarck House stands. We acknowledge and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Yarck House provides weekender accommodation for a young family of five on an expansive rural property at the base of the alpine region in Victoria.

The house is contained in a long pavilion whilst a utility courtyard separates a games room outbuilding, all of which is united under a single protective roof element. The linear arrangement offers every room full north aspect for views and passive solar gain, whilst protecting northerly outdoor areas from the predominant southerly winds.
