This new residence was actually a renovation project utilising the existing ground floor slab & external walls. With the client being a structural engineer allowed some flexibility in repositioning additional volumes.

The design was conceived as a minimalist project with simple volumetric forms balanced on lower structure and cantilevering to provide cover below. Roof forms were extended to suit the subtropical climate and provide double height voids to the entry sequence & rear canal.

The material palette was minimalistic in approach with simple rendered forms, feature off form concrete breaking down to timber look battening for privacy, filtered light & breezes. The battening articulated the general massing forms. Timber & stone material provided a more natural palette contrasting with the minimalist render.
