Australian studio Architects EAT has completed the Linear House project in 2010. This 3,336 square foot contemporary residence is located in Portsea, a resort town located across Port Phillip from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The project was achieved with a modest budget. All the rooms are relatively small, and instead of open plan, the living room, dining and kitchen are separated to create intimacy in a large house. The project considers sustainability at a strategic level: space zoning, cross ventilation, solar orientation and thermal mass, as well as utilising rain water storage, solar electricity, insulation and double glazing to further enhance the sustainable outcome of the house.
