Bangalow Road House
Sited on a 360 SQM block with three street-frontages, Bangalow Road House fulfils the programmatic requirements within the confines of its tight constraints. Employing various screening elements, the geometric forms blur and soften, allowing sunlight to filter in while providing varying glimpses of the landscape and street, creating a home that is connected to its environment while maintaining a sense of seclusion within.
A simplified palette of locally and sustainably sourced raw materials aids in minimising carbon miles while anchoring the home and imbuing it with a sense of place. A local native hardwood encases the structure and descends into the interior. Externally, the timber gradually develops a distinctive silver-grey patina, while internally, it retains its warm hue. This transition between indoor and outdoor spaces creates a dynamic experience within the dwelling, forming a visual narrative of sorts—a tactile dance that resonates with the senses.
