Little Big House

littleBIG is more than a name it is an ethos based on the tenets of mid-century modern design – individuality, colour and connection of family+house+garden. A beautifully, detailed compact home that balances its modest budget with the needs of a big family. Using a palette of low-maintenance, natural materials that connect with earth and sky, colourful personalised interiors and seamlessly connected landscaped “rooms”, littleBIG creates a joyful backdrop for five young children to grow. Overcoming setback and privacy limitations of the wedge-shaped block, the architecture incorporates passive and active solar design principles to capture (and shelter) the sun and sea-breezes, reduce energy costs and provide a future aging-in-place strategy. The forms, lines and flow of integrated architecture, interior and landscape are simple, colourful and delightful. Together they create a home that is nuanced and playful; a canvas for the future, and a testament to the vision of our clients.
