Davidov Partners ArchitectsThe SSK Residence involved the renovation and extension to a single storey Californian Bungalow in Caulfield North.
In order to unlock the under-utilised and removed back yard of the North facing suburban block a new wing was proposed to allow the main living and dining areas to engage directly with the back yard and free up space in the existing house for additional bedrooms, bathrooms and storage.
The extension took the form of a north facing barn that allowed the large room to be visually, yet unobtrusively divided into the two functional zones; living and dining.
The ceilings that frame the 2 spaces allowed the extension to be nestled into the corner of the site against the side boundary to maximise the outdoor area and prevent over shadowing to the southern neighbours back yard.

Stoller ArchitectureA large living room window wall opens to an expansive view, with the surrounding deck extending the interior space.
Uptic StudiosConceived as an empty-nesters paradise this house was designed as a series of pods to maximize the efficiency of the footprint and to celebrate the interrelationship of the interior and exterior spaces. Both indoor and outdoor living areas are promoted by the building’s harmonious relationship with the natural environment. The undulating form steps down the hillside to frame incredible views of the landscape and surrounding golf course from every point in the house and a combination of decks, bridges and patios encourage the residents to be outside. This line between in and out is further diffused by both the structure and the material palette’s movement across the exterior threshold, while the shading devices, trellises and large eves provide protection and privacy for year round use and enjoyment of the entire site. This residence is truly a deliberate response to both the owner’s lifestyle and their love of nature.
