RODD POINT 1

Project Year: 2018 – 2020
Project Cost: $1 million

A new house on a relatively flat site, the design was based firstly on meeting the Housing Code requirements for a Complying Development Certificate approval.

I have never been one for simply ticking the boxes though. Working closely with the owners to create their dream home, I fine-tuned the initial box to form a U-shaped plan, with the living spaces clustered around a north-facing courtyard.

The courtyard acts as the physical and familial heart of the house, bringing daylight into all the living rooms.

Externally, face brick, render and operable aluminium privacy louvres form a contemporary façade with clean, minimal lines.
