Town House
Pushing the house to the property boundary has allowed for the creation of a resolutely urban-looking house in a provincial town’s CBD. This move, such a refreshing departure from the usual suburban typology that typifies country towns, also facilitates the integration of several courtyards into the open-plan layout of the whole composition. This planning accommodates a diverse programme that includes public and private family areas, an artist studio and coffee kiosk. The co-location of the different functions is handled adroitly, as is the massing of forms on the site. In sum, this is a bold concept, excellently realised.
