Eye-Popping Jones House Uses Color To Challenge Ho-Hum Suburban Vernacular

Unlike many other boring suburban homes, the Jones House is stunning to look at, didn't cost a fortune, and it isn't a giant sprawling structure that uses up more than its fair share of space and resources. <a href="http://www.kud.com.au/contact_us">Kavellaris Urban Design</a> used mostly <a href="http://inhabitat.com/stunning-palmya-house-showcases-local-sustainable-materials/">sustainable materials</a>, and fewer of them, to create a colorful home that demonstrates how suburbia and dull architecture need not be synonymous.

Kavellaris turned a standardized suburban design into something really special.

Brick veneer, painted compressed sheet, and colorbond roofing combined creates an eye-popping colorful home.

At only 200 square meters, the home is situated on a corner lot with space restrictions.

Even so, the designers managed to incorporate all of the rooms considered vital for a suburban home.

The "hipped roof" features a peel-back skylight.

And enables cross ventilation and rainwater channeling.
