BULLEEN RESIDENCE

Contemporary House, Bulleen
Completed 2016

With influence from the Client's Japanese and Chinese heritage, the brief has given us an immediate idea of a modern abode, filled with natural light, and simplicity in almost every aspect of the building’s layout, material, functionality, spatial context as well as its façade typology. We therefore, proposed a luxury home designed with the concept of nature blending in the typology of juxtaposing spatial context and its onsite fabric, offering a mnemonical spatial experience of light, shadow, materiality & natural ventilation.

The building offers features such as a central atrium that captures northern light & double volume space on the first-floor family area with skylights controlling indoor thermal performance via shade and natural ventilation. In general, the whole building is simple in form, sitting in a surrounding landscape and breathing through its’ ESD features.
