Previoulsy a general store, this South Melbourne terrace has been transformed into the forever home for a Melbourne couple and their two young daughters.
The project is located in Shaab, Kuwait with a plot area of 500 m2. The MT Villa plan applies a clean, contemporary aesthetic designed around the needs of a young family with 2 children.
This project is edged. Located on the edge. The edge of a neighborhood on the edge of a city. On the border line. This line is the generator of the project. Its leading line. The Round Edge House is extremely open to one direction, allowing the landscape to dissolve into the house.
The form and programme that emerged from this project resulted from challenging site constraints, spatial limitations and a tight budget. Located in a flood prone area, it was necessary to elevate habitable rooms 1.2m above ground level. As a secondary dwelling, the brief needed to be achieved within 60sqm and adhere to a budget that would allow it to remain an affordable housing option.
Blurring the edges between indoors and out, the re-design of this lush Beverly Hills Bungalow focuses on redistributing the home’s layout to create a welcoming internal courtyard. Once inside the entry vestibule, a series of well-composed sightlines establish a simultaneously elegant and informal entry sequence.
The modern villa was built on a plot of land on the outskirts of Reutlingen on a popular mountain trail, directly below the Achalm Mountain. To the north, towards this path, Fineway House appears like a stone, solid and closed and opens with floor-to-ceiling glazing to the view in the south.
Sited on a rocky desert plateau outside of Palm Desert, this residence is tightly nestled within a constellation of boulders, overlooking the Coachella Valley and the San Jacinto Mountain Range beyond. The diagram of the home is a triptych of elements: a floating roof plane, a collection of wooden volumes, and two concrete anchor walls.
