WYE RIVER VICTORIA

Architects	Bellemo & McLeod
Structural Engineers	Felicetti
Year	1999

Egg shaped house in the Australian bush, constructed on a steeply sloping block prone to landslip. A difficult site to construct upon, it was hand crafted by the owner-architects.

Felicetti developed the structural scheme as a series of plywood ribs akin to an aircraft fuselage. The egg structure being supported on braced steel legs locked into the steep slope by concrete footings.
