Gallery House
By Ben Hudson Architects
The Gallery House has been designed to reflect the people who live here, each space telling a story. In this residence, the warmth and richness of timber combines with a palette of neutral whites and the raw beauty of polished concrete to create a series of layered interiors and intimate, gallery-like spaces that showcase the owners’ passion for art.
The living area is celebrated as a central, pivotal space that is inviting and liveable. Thoughtfully planned around a collection of paintings, sculpture and furniture, attention to detail and craftsmanship has been paid throughout the interior. With a nod to the clean geometries and functionality of mid-century modern design, the distinctive materiality comes together to create an unpretentious living space that is full of character.
The bespoke joinery includes a central timber and natural steel fireplace dividing the living and dining areas, and a semi-enclosed wine and bar space, cocooned by timber joinery to provide depth and a focal point around which to spend time with family and friends
The living space flows out to a sheltered, sunken outdoor fire area with built-in seating, extending the social hub outdoors and establishing a strong connection to the landscape.

About the
Professional
We want to make the process of building a home easy for clients.
Prior to the founding of Ben Hudson Architects, Ben Hudson and John Mathieson met whilst working at Warren and Mahoney, where a shared interest was realised in producing bespoke, imaginative architecture that is well constructed and sits comfortably in it’s surrounding.
We believe successful projects require good communication and earned trust between clients, architects, consultants and builders. Our approach is friendly and personable, whilst our work demonstrates sensitivity and subtlety in design.
A core strength of the practice is our past experience and combined knowledge and skills that allow us to bring a broader perspective to the conversation. Ben and John work together on all stages of our projects; a collaborative approach that brings dual sensibilities to each design, ensuring that the quality of detail is maintained in the final build.
Our goal is to pursue architecture that marries innovative and exciting design with a keen awareness of context and environmental responsibility. Our architecture is not about pre-determined style or fashion, we seek to produce enduring livable architecture capable of inspiration and delight. Put simply, we aim to create places and spaces that people love.
