A contemporary residence in Bulleen, completed in 2016, blending Japanese and Chinese heritage with modern design, featuring a central atrium, double volume family area, and sustainable elements for natural light and ventilation.
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.
