Appia House

New house on a river-front site in Brisbane, Australia.

2020

. . . .

The design of this house seeks to give a sense of monolithic solidity on the exterior, which protects a light and lofty interior. The white masonry external skin is built up in layers like sediment, with alternate offset courses which catch the sunlight and create lines of deep shadows beneath.

Projecting planters provide unexpected and enjoyable moments of landscape at high level.
