Cage House
Type
The rusty cage house was born by a
request from a close friend of Frank Macchia’s to create an "aussie "
family home for their move down under from Italy." My inspiration for this home
was the clients background in music and graphic design. I had a strong inclination to keep it simple,
real and square. So I decided to play a
game of square on square overlays using only materials that would weather
noticeably such as raw concrete, timber and coreten. It is always important for me to think about
how the form will hold up aesthetically as the years roll on "Nestled
in a quiet suburban street this waterfront home is shrouded from the road
and adjoining properties by a rusty steel cage which unveils a home that
embraces the beauty of raw materials. A careful selection of off form and
polished concrete, timber and rusty steel were selected for their natural
beauty and durability to the coastal elements.Spread
over two levels the open plan lower level living and dining zones circulate
around the kitchen with a central island bench the hub for friends and
family gatherings. The space flows from inside to outside blurred by a continuity
of finishes and substantial overhangs to outdoor areas providing shaded
private nooks to enjoy the mild Noosa climate. A pool runs the length of
one boundary punctuated by stepping platforms of timber and concrete and blade
walls supporting the floor level over. The
upper level is connected to the lower level by a folded steel and timber staircase
adjoining a two story light void studded with bamboo. The bedrooms overlooking
the street each with ensuite are enveloped within the rusty steel
cage which provokes a play of light and shadow as the day progresses. The
master bedroom suite overlooks the living space below and utilises the substantial
glazing to provide a panoramic vista of the river frontage and nature
reserve on the opposite river bank.
