"The design raises the ground plane to form a roof garden, giving back outdoor space within a dense urban condition, while supporting local ecology and extending the life of the house beyond its footprint."
"A void above the circular 'snug' draws daylight deep into the house and allows air to move through its full depth, creating a fluid and inviting central space."
"The absence of internal doors between primary rooms allows continuous movement, shaped instead by material shifts and level changes, enhancing the sense of openness and connection."
Northcote House is a contemporary renovation of a Victorian terrace in Melbourne, designed by LLDS. The design elevates the ground plane to create a roof garden, enhancing outdoor space in a dense urban area. The interior features a hall-like volume that combines kitchen, dining, and entry areas, promoting openness. The architect's home includes smaller gathering spaces, with a central circular 'snug' surrounded by bedroom suites. The absence of internal doors allows for continuous movement, while dark green finishes and locally sourced materials create a cohesive atmosphere.
