By Ted Quinton Architecture
Bellevue Hill House III, is a unique project that expresses in built form, ideas and approaches to residential design that reflect history, context and meaning. The approach was to create a strong architectural identity that interpreted and drew its inspiration from the character of the area; the beautiful pitch roof forms, white washed walls and subtle crafted details of houses in the vicinity.
The form of the house creates an innate connection with the archetypal enduring image of house, one that is inviting, warm and intimate while at the same time being elegant and timeless in its aesthetic qualities. The house is intended to age gracefully over time becoming a part of its site as well as the greater context.
