The idea for Bunker House was sparked by Futureflip owner and director Neil Hipwell's fascination with the war-time bunkers that can be found in the Gerringong area of New South Wales.
This, coupled with the recognition that only the most robust of materials can truly withstand the forces of nature, saw Neil work his magic with off-form concrete, limestone, and real timber to achieve the ultimate coastal aesthetic.
The ‘perfect pop’ against the concrete backdrop, Western Red Cedar from Modinex pre-coated with high-quality Australian timber oil clads Bunker House's front facade.
“One of the key features for Bunker House was raw materials; we wanted off-form concrete and real timber as the main feature for this house. So we worked with Modinex Group to source this Western Red Cedar with Cutek Pre-Oiled, which has turned out so good for this project,” said Hipwell.
