Article source: MGAO This project is a private residence located in the links Golfcourse development in Thirteenth Beach, a small coastal town located along the Victorian Coastline. Being located in a fairly ‘residential’ housing development, we responded to the clients brief by creating an inward focused, Courtyard house. Providing the residents with a sense of seclusion within a rapidly developing housing estate. From the exterior, the house is clad in a black stained timber, creating a simple, solid form when viewed from the street.
Internally, the form is broken down into distinct sections through the use of a pinwheel of rammed earth walls. The 600mm thick rammed earth walls define the various zones / functions of the house, and wrap around the large internal courtyard, containing a pool, and covered and uncovered outdoor living areas. ZONE 1: The entry hall and Guest zone – containing 2 bedrooms, wet areas and second living space. ZONE 2: The living zone – containing the living / dining / kitchen and pantry ZONE 3: The Family zone – containing main bedroom and kids bedroom, each with their own ensuite ZONE 4: The service zone – containing the garage, store and services Contact MGAO
