See more photographs The plan and site allowed for the creation of three courtyards and a large open space in front of the house. We made the deliberate decision not to erect a wall or fence along the southern street front, allowing for a spacious, open landscape area. The southern facade of the house serves as the street-facing wall, adorned with planted screens and a few strategically placed openings. An inviting entrance is curved into the wall to greet visitors from the street. A simple palette of materials were used. The external walls feature a simple Clinker brick, flush jointed to create an earthy texture. Aluminium glass facades, incorporating high-performance glass, ensure thermal comfort within the living spaces. (earthworld architects, accessed 2024 06 26)
