Point Lonsdale House

This project nestles a compact plan within an existing clearing in the coastal vegetation. Floor levels step down gently with topography to make a series of similar but individually distinct spaces. The main central living zone – which can be read as a void through the house – is crossed by the large barn-like roof space of the first floor, making two large communal spaces. Four corner rooms each have their own personality and can be closed off to create privacy. The planning of wet areas and service spaces is integrated with circulation and daily life use patterns. This house was constructed using tilt-up concrete panels cast on site.
