Briefly

Kross House / FIGR Architecture & Design
"The design offers a sophisticated reinterpretation of coastal living, showcasing a harmonious blend of traditional beachside elements with contemporary architectural forms."
"Central to the layout is a multi-functional cross that organizes the space and creates a journey through the house, echoing the local Mount Martha boardwalk."
This single-storey residence elegantly reinterprets pavilion-style living, integrating seamlessly with a sloping coastal site. Supported by a V-shaped steel column and surrounded by natural rock, the home floats over the landscape. Composed of distinct pavilions, it provides flexible living spaces while balancing privacy. With a central cross layout that mirrors local boardwalks, the design fosters a connection between indoor and outdoor environments. The timber material palette enhances cohesiveness with nature, while the imagined undercroft garden offers a unique, contemplative space, reinforcing the home's relationship to the environment.
