The Hug House is a masterful integration of restored heritage architecture and contemporary design, featuring a central courtyard that enhances privacy and airflow. The home includes various functional areas, from bedrooms to living spaces, all interconnected through thoughtful spatial layering. With large sliding doors that connect interiors to the outdoors, the design emphasizes openness. Material choices like concrete and hardwood create warmth and texture, grounding the house in its environment, while the elevated rear deck offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, bridging the old with the new effectively.
At the front of the site, the heritage portion of the home has been meticulously restored to its former glory, preserving its architectural character while seamlessly integrating a new functional program.
The elevated rear deck extends the living and alfresco areas, seemingly floating above the landscape, stretching the elevation of the building while forming a sculpted edge.
Materiality plays a vital role in grounding the house within its context. The solidity of concrete floors is softened by accents of hardwood blackbutt plywood.
The home is anchored by a central courtyard - a green heart that fosters privacy while allowing the architecture to breathe.
