EASTOP ARCHITECTS learns and works on the land of the Wurundjeri People.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians as the first place makers on this land.
We pay our respect to their care and knowledge of this special country and culture.
Located in the Warrandyte hills, surrounded by gums, bedrock and an undulating topography. A folded roof, floats above a series of individually separated living volumes, stitching the house into landscape and creating a series of protected courtyard spaces.
Materials have been chosen to reflect the locality of the site, with a dark palette connecting to the shadows and depth of the forests beyond, while also creating spaces of comfort and mood. A simplicity of structure and careful application of texture and transparency allow the project to feel both expansive and compact, despite its 1,400 sqm floor area.
