Warrandyte residence
Tills Drive, Warrandyte, Australia
Firm
YEAR
2011
This large residence located in a cleared bush setting was
designed to engage with both the rural context of it’s surroundings and also
the relationship to the Yarra river which flowed along the north eastern
boundary of the property. Contemporary
in it’s execution, the residence is made up of two wings. One functions as a
bedroom wing whilst the other remains as the primary living wing with the
master bedroom also part of this building. The two “parts” of the building
intersect to form an entrance vestibule which creates a central focus to the
house. This area not only becomes an entrance but is a usable indoor space with
“outdoor qualities and connects the two
wings in a sympathetic manner allowing the main living area to pivot off the
main axis of the building and address both the northerly aspect of the site and
the river views beyond. The two wings also connect via two stone wall “spines”
which interface at the entrance of the residence. The quality of this space is
designed to ”blur” the boundaries between outside and inside and bring indoors
the quality and the materiality of the residence and the site. The garage which
also ties in at this point becomes “the shed” which is attached to the side of
the house. Part of this “shed” is a timber box which is the clients home
office. This looks out onto a sheltered courtyard which also opens up from the
kitchen area. This “wraps” into the entrance hall and is accentuated by a rich
red stain which runs internally and externally. The house is single storey and is
predominantly two boxes with low skillion rooves. Interior spaces are sculpted
with these roof forms forming opening clerestory windows. Louvres set into
these clerestories allow natural ventilation through the residence and
introduce controlled light through the house. The skillions overhang the
building to protect it from the summer sun whilst allowing lower winter sun to
penetrate the building.
