House Milner Shmukler
This house is conceived of as a series of boxes suspended in a large
shed-like space. The private spaces of the house, the bedrooms and
bathrooms, hover over the public spaces. Each bedroom is expressed as a
box, pulled apart from its fellows creating a series of double height
voids. The edges of the private spaces describe the public volumes.Built for a Sydney family, the house is on a deep, narrow,
north-facing site on an unattractive beach-side suburban street. The
clients have two kids, a large extended family and live very casually,
entertaining outdoors all year round. Built to a tight budget, House
Shmukler is honest in its material palette and uses industrial
construction techniques. On a steel portal frame, the exterior is
conceived of as a wrap of sheet metal lined in bracing ply, within which
the pristine plasterboard boxes hover. The floor is structural concrete
slab with in-slab heating/cooling.Low light windows and concealed operable skylights promote cross and
stack-effect ventilation. Side penetrations are limited to allow the
house to focus on the pool and direct sunshine at the northern end, and
northern light and air penetrates the depth of the plan from skylights
over the double height voids. The house revisits the separation of
public and private or served and servant. It uses space around private
volumes for ventilation and insulation, rethinking methods of achieving
environmental sustainability in our hot climate. The house is inwardly
focused, on the business of family life and on unexpected vertical
internal views that change with the passage of the sun through the day.
