Westmere House 2
By Gerrad Hall Architects
Formally, the house investigates the idea of a double ended house, connecting a vertically oriented facade element and a horizontal floating box cantilevered into the back yard. To try to emphasize the duality, the living space on the street is veiled behind timber louvres and sets the retreat space of the living area in the most public view, while the rear of the house is opened up to the wide lawn.
