Southern facade
Orientation is always something important on site, and must be considered carefully to create efficient living spaces. I placed my house with the large glazed facade facing southernly, while the northern wall supports a long and narrow window very high up, avoiding direct sunlight into working areas. Also incorporated in the design is a large overhead skylight and an open glazed coutryard providing plenty of daylight into the house.

One key idea from location and place was to use natural meterials to suit the surrounding environment. Ideally having stone walls and all internal fixings as timber.

Designing a permanent home for Malouf (74 yrs), I intentionally wanted the floor plan to be very simple, practical and open.

I aimed to incorporate into the design, the idea of natural cross ventilation to provide cooling and a central thermal mass wall to provide heating.

Ideas Statement

Designing for David Malouf as my client, I focused on how I thought he was as a person. From certain aspects of my research I decided to pay particular attention to his most noted personality traites. He is an intelligent man with a passion for history and is quite politically minded. He supports visual arts and even has an interest in architecture. He is a very private and reserved person and very little of his personal life is known to the public. This is the main driving idea behind my design, working particularly with designing a contemporary home in both shape and form, making it modern yet still comfortable. By encouraging the feeling of privacy and security I came up with an earth sheltered home, using nature itself as an intimate shelter and refuge, blending in with the surroundings. However, the interior, I feel should be very open and functional, using materials and lighting as focus elements and highlights.
