In an interview for an article in Houses 81, Rachel Neeson and Nick Murcutt came up with a palette of their favourite materials and finishes.

Recycled bricks.

Steel window reveals

Custom-designed integrated sunshading, structure and window frames in steel complement heavier masonry construction, as seen at the Castlecrag House.

Off-form concrete.

Off-form concrete

The sculptural quality of off-form concrete combined with thermal mass benefits makes this product a favourite. In addition, when weathered, the colour changes to match the colour of Sydney sandstone.

Verner Panton topan Vp6 Pendant

Boral Standard Half Height Design Block, bagged.

The playful, understated nature of this pendant makes it suitable for a variety of applications.

Vertical hardwood cladding.

Vertical hardwood cladding

The weathering quality of timber appeals to the practice along with the way patternation breaks down the scale of the overall mass of a building.
