Rose Park Residence
Adelaide, South Australia, 2019
This home is bedded the in the design principles of “form following function”, “tactile materiality” and “seamless transitions”. A desired north facing space demanded an innovative planning solution, the planning solution demanded a tactile experience – (making a 25m detour to the kitchen demands a pleasant journey!) – and a blurred line between inside and out meant that that journey is worth it, differing each day with the play of light.
What exists in two halves is combined and drawn together with the courtyard…a space to crave sunlight and warmth, solitude and social– the space in between, the heart of the home.
The interior form and exterior composition is seamless, one influencing the other from the outset. Materials are consistent and flowing, linking inside to outside – thresholds and junctions soften blend and blur with restraint.
A house that flows, a space that soothes, and a space for all.
