SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
Cubby
House
Extension & renovation of an apartment overlooking an adjacent public
swimming pool.
The Concept
To
provide additional floor area for an upper level bedroom/study space and new
bathroom with the lower level acting as the main living space.
Inspired
by the ‘raumplan’concept – designing continuous spaces for living rather than
regularly divided floors with limited flexibility – the house has minimal doors
and walls. Incorporating pool views and making it part of the interior, using reflection
and raised planes - new surfaces at the rear of the space are reflective to
enhance the ambivalence between interior and exterior.Lower Level
Featuring a raised ceiling level and an elevated kitchen floor (as part of the
staircase) to allow views out and to the pool whilst cooking, with a semi-enclosed
balcony performing as part of the living space.A sliding reflective gold box
acts as a lobby door, screening the toilet as well as comprising wine storage. This
space also includes a bookshelf with an incorporated dog kennel Upper Level
New steelwork
provides the structure for the new roof form, with a double height void running
through the house to the new roof light.Left partly exposed, the steelwork
& bracing create a dynamic with the new roof form.
The
angled ceiling to the bathroom pod enlarges the upper level space and
integrates a hole punctured to allow for the shower. Overlooking the pool, the
shower space also provides a view to the sky through the roof light. Glazed
panels at each end of the bathroom heighten the presence natural light and
allows for views whilst maintaining a degree of privacy.
Rotating
to create a small study or guest bedroom space, an OSB wardrobe with gold
reflective plane facing the pool defines the bedroom space.
A
small external terrace provides a more private, intimate space to the bedroom
area and provides natural ventilation through the house.
Materiality
A
contrast is created between sharp lines and rough surfaces.
Reflecting
a neutral palette - reclaimed limed
timber, OSB, sisal, vic ash and white concrete floor. Joinery elements include
the bookshelf, sliding mirrored gold box, and rotating wardrobe element which acts
as wall.
