Description
Humble in both scale and material, JD House is a familial sanctuary, enhancing the lives of a family of five.
The original 1890s villa was preserved and a collection of structures, including a new addition, carport and garage were respectfully inserted between existing site elements.
Governed by a pursuit of lightness, each structure is supported by a delicate skeletal frame. The detailing is executed within the confines of 150mm framing sections, innovatively addressing drainage complexities.
Running almost the full width of the site and segmented along its length, the planning of the addition is uncomplicated and efficient. The interplay of varied ceiling heights and column spacing endows each section its own identity. Neatly wrapped in western red cedar, the external elevation conceals the undulation in internal volumes.
Composed of modest materials in light tones, there is a feeling of tranquility throughout, while the manipulation of light creates a dynamic environment.
Questions and Answers
What was the brief?
Comprised of three elements, the project scope included a new addition, garage, and carport. Recently renovated, the existing villa was left untouched, bar the upgrade of a bathroom. The desire was for the new addition to be light, airy, and designed with a strong relationship to the outdoors.
