O Series timber door knobs
A series of timber doorknobs by Tasmanian-based Interia are beautiful to touch and each is unique. They can be used as a cabinet knob, coathanger or folly. interia.com.au
Cedar cladding
Plantation-grown Western red cedar is incredibly durable as an untreated external finish. It also weathers to a beautiful natural silver grey, as seen here at the Campbell House. woodformarchitectural.com.au

“Black” steel
Seen here at the Smee Schoff House, “black” steel tells a story about its origins that painted steel never can. Essentially raw steel straight off the roller, it is imperfect. It ages and forms a patina; it can be oiled or left to rust. bluescopesteel.com.au
BoralStone
Concrete can be ground smooth or left with a texture and it changes with age. It is cool in summer and warm in winter (when the sun is allowed to strike it or when it is heated via hot water pipes running through it). Here, concrete detailing is seen at the Campbell House. boral.com.au
Recycled bricks
The architects use recycled materials whenever practical. The patina and texture of recycled bricks is always appealing, as seen here in the garden of the Bronte House. thebrickpit.com.au
