Stead Street Residence
South Melbourne, Australia
Shortlisted for the 2013 Houses Award in the Sustainability Category.
The Stead Street residence located in the inner city suburb of South Melbourne was an extension of a federation style double fronted terrace house for a young professional family. The design focused on using environmentally friendly materials with a mixture of blonde bamboo timbers, recycled brick, blonde plywoods and soft white finishes combining to create a mixed Scandinavian/modern industrial aesthetic. Where possible outdoor break out spaces are linked to internal spaces and used to define the room volumes. The crowning achievement of which was a second level courtyard sunken in behind the oversized federation roof pitch which previously housed a leaky box gutter. The feature bamboo staircase is used as divider between the main adult living room and the children’s play space. This staircase lines up with the ground floor courtyard and serves to divide the old form the new addition, acting as a threshold where the new design aesthetic fully appears. At this point both the courtyard and the light well behind the staircase provide a flood of light which continues throughout the new addition and is in stark contrast to the old federation house.
