A simple Central Otago design by Sarah Scott Architects integrating a homestay and a fully self contained Apartment required some straight forward engineering.

The high 35 degree skillion roofs required use of steel frames / flitch beams to keep the structure within the ceiling space to maintain the clean uninterrupted lines the architect and client were after. The 150 x 50 timber frame construction was specifically designed for maximum insulation and stability to enable a crack free solid plaster finish that looks and feels as if on concrete block (without the expense).
