Sail-shaped roofs, stainless steel ballustrading and steel walls give this home a very nautical feel. COLORBOND® steel contrasts with the striking ZINCALUME® steel finish to offer an imposing façade overlooking the Derwent River. The large, expanses of steel cladding and glass create a contemporary look, while the curved and angled roofs re-create the flow of the river below.

A burnt out-shell of a house on Hobart's picturesque Derwent River has become the basis for a chameleon home which reflects the changing colours and moods of its waterside environment - as well as a client's dreams.
