The systematic construction technique used by de Campo Architects is paired with a careful selection of materials to minimize impact on the environment. Here, the team at de Campo Architects shares some of its favourite materials and textures.

Insulated precast concrete

This material provides a good thermal envelope, is aesthetically pleasing and is quick to install. Seen here at the Toorak House.

Crushed rock

When used on a roof, crushed rock provides great ballast and insulation.

Sisal flooring

A natural floor covering used to complement concrete and timber. It is also durable and has acoustic qualities.
