    (3 of 4) I love how lightly this building touches the landscape and yet still fits right into its surrounding environment. With a steel frame, concrete floor system and sustainable wood walls and ceiling and corrugated steel siding, the simplicity of this building belies the great thought that went into creating it. The more temperate climate of Australia makes houses like this far easier to build, not having to go through the intense temperature differences we face here in New England. But I can almost see a similar house built here, resembling the old covered bridges that used to be so abundant.
