# Cutout Roof Cement-Clad Homes Edition Office Designs a Home with a Focus on Tree Views By Amy Duong | Published 2024-02-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edition-office References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/02/01/edition-office-new-south-wales-home-mossy-point-cutout-roof/) & [edition-office](https://edition-office.com/)  Architecture studio [Edition Office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenwick-st) designs a house in Australia's Mossy Point. It is defined by its unique cutout roof structure and fiber-cement cladding. The house hosts three bedrooms and rests on a parallel blockwork wall nestled in a wooded area. The structure has two levels with a [dramatic roofline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridge-house) that forms an outdoor dining space with optimal sheltering. Edition Office's Kim Bridgland tells [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rk-residence), "The colour and texture of this cladding perfectly matched the trunks of the surrounding trees, aesthetically tethering the home to its surroundings." The owners explain "We wanted a home that provided privacy while capitalising on the magnificent tree-filtered views to the north and east. We wanted to maximise the light in the living and dining areas and for them to have access to the outdoors."
