This is stunningly beautiful, i love the look of the exposed corrugated iron but i do have a question about where the insulation is? Victoria Australia is really hot in Summer and very cold in winter.

I have to agree, very little in terms of insulation or draught proofing

My first thought. Probably has insulation between the tin.I wish it had more windows too because it is dark.Reclaimed wood also has really gotten insanely expensive in the USA.
