Project notes

Location: Strathmore, Melbourne
Project: Contemporary residence

Light. Space. Connection.

A home organised around the space between. The central courtyard brings greenery and light into the daily experience of the residence, while the street elevation presents a quieter, more private face.

Architecture / Material / Craft

A connection to the outdoors, at the heart of the home.

Brickwork gives the exterior a strong material identity. Inside, marble, timber and carefully framed views create a softer sequence of spaces. Curved forms recur in the facade and stair, connecting the larger architectural gestures with the details encountered up close.
