This house is contemporary house design named Bridge House was designed by Max Pritchard Architect located in Adelaide, Australia. The house built on 110 sqm area. Two steel trusses forming the primary structure, were fabricated off site and erected by two men and a crane in two days. They were anchored by four small concrete piers, poured each side of the creek. Spanning between the trusses is a concrete floor slab on steel decking with a layer of rigid insulation. The “box” walling and roofing is plantation pine.

A narrow house form, spans over the creek. Glazing each side opens the house to views in both directions, giving the feeling of living amongst the trees.

The wicked folks from Max Pritchard Architect want to bring out the adventurer side in you. Apparently these guys think there’s nothing more challenging than living inside a “bridge” surrounded by the lush green scenery. If that is not enough, look at this Bridge House carefully. It’s made of two steel trusses with concrete floors and steel decking, has a roof made of plantation pipes and comes with transparent walls made of glass. Another great example of narrow housing, it certainly brings the outdoor feeling in.
