"The main design move was to elevate the ground to form a roof garden to address the lack of garden spaces, supporting local ecology in an urban context."
"Below the free-form timber structure is a hall-like room with a kitchen, dining room, and entrance veranda reminiscent of the neighbourhood's large factory lofts and Victorian church halls."
"The highly textured concrete internal wall provides thermal mass and improves the dining room's acoustics by reducing the flutter echo effect caused by the parallel boundary walls."
LLDS has transformed the Victorian terrace design to fit the urban context of Melbourne, Australia. The house is situated on a narrow east-west plot measuring 22m by 4.6m. A key feature is the elevated ground that forms a roof garden, addressing the need for green spaces. The interior includes a hall-like room with a kitchen, dining area, and entrance veranda, inspired by local factory lofts and church halls. A textured concrete wall enhances thermal mass and acoustics in the dining room.
