From bridge houses to rolling cubes, these images show what the Festival State can do when it lets its hair down.

Shane Hendricks’ “rolling cube” house in Port Elliot looked like a giant climbing frame during construction. The building designer created the three-bedroom house with walls that make obtuse angles with the floors that are made from autoclaved aerated concrete from Hebel, which naturally cools the house and saves energy.

Hendricks’ cube features in a list of South Australia’s strangest homes, compiled by Adelaide Now.

    Is there enough permanent flow in the creek that you could build a weir and generate your own power with a micro power generator. Great simple design, I like it Ian Cleland The Walking Man
