Grabbing the attention of passers-by with its imposing asymmetric shape, the Hill House sits on a narrow site with a north-south orientation in Mount Martha, Australia. Capturing views from atop its hillside location, the modern residence was intended for a client who wanted a home that would encompass the vicinity of the beach in its open and warm design. The owner enjoys having friends over, so the house’s program was designed to accommodate both the client’s personal lifestyle and these get-togethers the client enjoys so much.
The two-story beach home features adjustable sun controlled external louvers which adjust the amount of natural light reaching the interiors. In this open space, guests feel comfortable and relaxed and they have revery eason to feel that way. The spaces flow from one into the next, engaging the surroundings as they reveal carefully chosen furniture and inspiring details. A calm environment was achieved by using white walls to accentuate the presence of matte finished spotted gum, Grey Tundra natural stone and the colorful furniture and details seen throughout the space.
