QUINNINUP
New Residence
Currently in concept design.
A new holiday home situated amongst the local pines of South West Western Australia and located a short stroll from the banks of Karri Lake. The site holds special significance for the client and their family as they spent many summer months swimming and lazing upon the banks of the lake.
The plan is arranged in an 'L' configuration to create two distinct areas of public and private spaces, this configuration also creates a semi protected outdoor sitting area focused around a open fire place. The plan is angled to take advantage of an existing natural break in the trees which reduces the number of trees to be removed and directs the living area towards the bank of the lake.
Designed around passive solar design principles the plan takes advantage of natural sunlight in winter and shading in summer.
A combination of dark zincalume cladding provides a resilient and low maintenance exterior which blends with the surrounding landscape while internally plywood lining creates a lighter and warmer counter point to the external palette.
With a modest budget the overall floor area and materials have been carefully considered without sacrificing comfort.
