Words James Lyall Smith
The Inner Courtyards Act As A Cooling And Shading Mechanism In Summer As Well As Bringing The Landscape And Surrounding Paddocks Into The Heart Of The Home.
Encouraging Interaction With Surrounding Paddocks
Allowing For Areas Of The Building To Be Isolated Depending On Season And Use, Much Like The Areas Of The Working Farm This Building Occupies.
The Heavy Structural Concrete Wall On The West Begins The Placement Of The Upper Building,
The Romantic Ideals Of The Scheme Are Based In The Low Lying Connection To The Ground.
Connected By A Steel Structure, Allowing For Shallow Long Forms To Follow The Natural Contours
The Design Is Split Into Two Levels
The Lower Building Is Partially Embedded In The Ground To The South In Order To Allow For Seamless Interaction
The New Entrance Splits The Old And The New, With New Solid Brickwork Connecting Back To The Existing Residence
The Upper Connection With The Existing Building Is Based On Material Articulation And Window Size Proportions.
With Lighter Weight Inner Areas Falling Away With The Landscape
With Upper And Lower Elements
The Two New Forms Are Proportionally Thin And Long
The Existing Residence Is Disconnected With The Surrounding Environment
The New Forms Seek To Shift Away, Maximising Views And Connections Across And Through The Site
Encouraging Interaction With Surrounding Paddocks
Allowing For Areas Of The Building To Be Isolated Depending On Season And Use, Much Like The Areas Of The Working Farm This Building Occupies.
