UNDERGROUND HOUSE

By admin • Aug 6th, 2008 • Category: ALL PROJECTS, HOUSING

The land has been conceptually peeled back as a layer, the house slid in, a box /wedge pushed under some carpet. An attempt has been made to integrate directly into the landform. Planned around a central void, spaces are directed at specific points in the distant landscape.The house is conceived as a paired back shell, the focus being on the surrounding wilderness.

SOUTH HOBART HOUSE

By admin • Aug 5th, 2008 • Category: ALL PROJECTS, HOUSING

A compact and simple 130sqm house with 2 bedrooms and a studio on a steep site at the base of Mt. Wellington. Wedged between drainage easements, the H shaped plan separates the public and private parts of the house by the galley kitchen, with the negative space creating sheltered decks. A curtain wall of polycarbonate to the north maintains privacy and solar access, and picture windows frame views to surrounding forest.
