Sammuzzo Car Park

Designing for the desert requires a deep understanding of its extreme temperatures. From winter freezes to oppressive summer heat, the region is defined by extremes, and homes must be built to withstand them.

Alongside contemporary strategies, we drew on traditional design principles used by generations of Indigenous people, combining the two approaches to create modern homes in this timeless desert setting.

Rain and wind, days of relentless sunshine: these are all the elements we had to take into account in our project for this region.
