Seagull House - the iconic project

Designed by Roderick James for himself and his family, this house is an excellent example of what can be achieved by extending, remodelling and 'hiding' the existing run-down 1950's concrete house. It includes an oak frame barn with arch-braced collar trusses, a painted Douglas Fir studio, and a bolted Douglas fir conservatory overlooking the river creek. Verandas, balconies and timber cladding complete the exterior. Down on the creek is an oak framed workshop and boathouse roofed with oak shingles.
