Kilmore Residence
Melbourne, Australia
The site at Kilmore, 60km north of Melbourne, is approximately 500 acres and used for cattle farming. An open site with only slight fall, the house is sited within a paddock previously burnt out by bush fire, the area defined by a cluster of burnt tree trunks to the south and views to the property’s dam to the north.
Embracing the philosophy of the modular approach, the extensive program for the house was designed into a series of pavilions, some connected by glazed links, others freestanding connected to the main house by decking only.
The form of the pavilions were conceived as free standing elements, darkly clad, to sit as objects within the stark surrounding landscape. The notion of the pavilion was used to create semi enclosed external areas, providing protection from the harsh winds while defining view lines.
Exploring the idea of the pavilions as stand alone objects, the house forgoes the typical ‘front and rear’; instead the pavilions are used to define seasonal areas of dark, enclosed spaces for the cooler months, protected from the elements, with openable light areas for summer to maximise connection with outdoor areas and the cooling breezes.
