Inside Issue No. 4

Cremasco House
Paul Couch

Name: Issue No. 4 - 6
Brand: The Local Project
Price: 85.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Though Paul Couch has maintained a low profile throughout his long career, his work has been quietly revered over the years by those who have encountered it. Most of his buildings remain undescribed, but Cremasco House, completed in 2008, was photographed by Tom Ross for a forthcoming book on Paul’s work currently being written by architects Michael Roper and James Maguvin. A mixed-use building in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, Cremasco House is a prominent later project in the oeuvre of an architect whose work is only now beginning to be given deeper consideration.

La Scala
Richards & Adrian Spence

La Scala tells the story of an ambitious vision for a small site tucked into an inner-city pocket of Brisbane. The home of architects Ingrid Richards and Adrian Spence, it is a building that challenges assumptions about residential architecture, subtropical design and the use of urban sites to craft a more adaptable, enduring and exciting response.

Koonya Pavilion
Room11 Architects

No architecture can make a landscape as soul-stirringly beautiful as the coastline of the Tasman Peninsula more powerful, but the right building can distil and heighten the experience of inhabiting such a place. Setting out to capture the elemental qualities of this experience, Room11 took a reductive approach to the design until all that remained of the building were four glass walls and two parallel planes of equal area that offer shelter overhead and support underfoot. The resulting glass pavilion sits as an object in the landscape, its exposed nature intensifying awareness of the site’s nuances.

Kew Residence
John Wardle Architects

Narrative is intrinsic to John Wardle Architects’ work. The overarching historical, geographical and cultural narratives inherent in a place, a material, a craft; the more particular stories that lie behind a site; and those accumulated through the process of inhabitation or occupation – each is indelibly linked to the architecture’s physical qualities. Kew Residence, the home John Wardle has lived in with his family for 30 years and which has been recently renovated, represents a project in which each of these many layers is further interwoven with decades of lived experience.

Gottlieb House
Wood Marsh Architecture

On an unassuming residential street in Caulfield, in Melbourne’s east, stands a vast concrete and glass sculpture, a foreign object in a suburban setting. With a stainless-steel door set into its side the only indication as to its nature, Gottlieb House is as intriguing today as it was 30 years ago when Wood Marsh designed the building.

Ballarat House
Kennedy Nolan

From a design driven by the push and pull between the unique strengths and challenges of its lakeside site, Kennedy Nolan’s Ballarat House emerges as a home finely attuned to its context. While opening itself up to the ever-changing views of water and sky, the building draws the earth close like a protective blanket, nestled into a landscaped berm that shelters the spaces within from the street outside.

Pouaka Waikura
Patterson Associates

Aligning as a considered sequence of nomadic forms sculpting its own rural street, Pouaka Waikura sits anchored to its site, extending a vernacular familiar and resonant to its owners. Taking a unique approach to a beguiling site, Patterson Associates’ deliberately simplified methodology creates an intuitive connection to place.

Pearl Beach House
Polly Harbison Design

A small clearing in the bushland around Pearl Beach provides a reprieve from the density of the vegetation that obscures the sky above. Within this clearing, Polly Harbison Design has placed a building whose monumental qualities echo the scale of the surrounding forest and are representative of the recent marked shift in the relationship between architecture and such bushfire-prone environments.

Corner House
Archier

Corner House by Archier is situated on a challenging square site in Flinders, on the lands of the Bunurong people. Despite its proximity to the picturesque coastline of the Mornington Peninsula, the project’s more immediate context called for a carefully considered strategy that could limit the house’s exposure to the adjacent streets. Responding confidently to this challenge, Corner House deploys a restrained, dark façade to the perimeter of the site that captures and conceals a delicate private courtyard within its walls.
