Residential - Contract documentation project (2002)
Four person residence to be part of a communal site at Willunga,
South Australia. Rather than exploring the typical 'house'
as we have come to know it, this project was directed at finding
alternative means to define a 'home'. The result is a residence
to house two couples, each with their own 'home' within the
single structure, however the two sperate homes can be converted
to a single large 'house' at the inhabitants discretion. This
project required a comprehensive design with complete resolution
ultimately developing into contract documentation (CAD drafted).
Construction chosen was timber framed and rammed earth, with
the aim of sourcing materials locally. A communal site offered
the major challenge of this project which resulted in, a strong
landscape design component, and the ensuing notions of private
vs. public on such a site.
