House 61
The concept of this house is based on honest use of the material - the concrete shell provides structural stability and also results in an expressive visual appearance. It is characterised by aesthetically and constructively challenging details such as the expressive gutters and the long, thin roof planes above the entrances. The placement, dimensions and shape of the window openings are determined by both aesthetic and practical considerations, and their aluminium frames echo the aesthetic of the rough concrete. The landscape design is limited to simple concrete slabs immersed in the grass.
