Description

A house is a live space and its function is to carry its residents through time and space. The footprint of the house is a linear arrangement in plan, section and elevation. A visual axis from streetscape to landscape is articulated by the timber foot path under a concrete suspended canopy running from street side – through the entrance lobby – ending in the landscape facing the dam. The building mass is a composition of three tectonic boxes: the utility box facing the street, connected with a passage to the living box – facing the dam and the golf course, with the privacy box stacked on the living box The design intention was to achieve an abstract concrete materiality.
