The house form is simple and rectilinear. The external finishes are textured cement sheet, rusted corten steel, spotted gum timber, perforated metal, Alucobond and woven metal mesh. Rich browns and reds contrast strongly with the grey of the cement sheet. The lustrous finish of aluminium is enhanced by the tension of the raw woven metal mesh. Light flows through the mesh to gently filter light to the ground floor rooms. The subtle materials palette has been deliberately restrained externally and relies on layering and transparency to create a sense of both elusiveness and contrasting depth. The external finishes penetrate into the building and are highlighted by the selective use of interior colours and finishes – including solid European Ash flooring, sustainable timber veneers, Australian granite and red goat hair carpet.

Camperdown House Designing
The tight budget, and a brief that necessitated robust materials, stimulated a rich dialogue resulting in the creative use of strong, inexpensive materials and simple yet elegant construction details. The spaces, like the materials in this home are efficient. The laundry doubles as a wet-room, the over-sized corridor upstairs as a play-space and the deep windowsills as seats. In the children’s bedroom a wall slides away to reconfigure play /sleep spaces. A series of saw-toothed rooves and carefully placed windows draw light deep into the internal spaces. Above the dining area hangs a double-height void that celebrates the nostalgic idea of the kitchen as the hearth, the heart of a home.

The Modern Sunlight Residence
The home sits to one side of the lot, allowing for a large yard and private landscaped space for playing, relaxing and gardening. Upstairs, there is a spacious master suite with a sitting area, mezzanine, his and hers walk-through closet and a master bathroom. In addition, the Flex Space in this particular Proto home is set up to create two bedrooms and a large office/studio space. And should you have to work from home occasionally, you wouldn’t mind it in this tech-rich environment where a complete wireless mesh network has harnessed all the home’s systems into one simple, accessible device the iPad.
