Kew House on the Edge

Australian firm, Jackson Clements Burrows Architects, created this house
on the edge of an escarpment. The house has a great view to the Yarra River
and Studley Park Golf. That isn’t their first project in interesting site conditions.
A residential area following the flow of the Yarra River?the land falls away 11.5 feet.




The architects created a three-part, two-toned, steel-and-copper-titanium-alloy-clad
form for the house that would telescope progressively from front to back.
The three shells that make up the horizontal stacking-block form contain
an entry shell with study and garage, a middle shell with bedrooms, bathrooms,
and laundry, and an end shell with kitchen, dining, and living areas.



The three forms are suspended in the tree canopy with a supporting
structure of circular two-tone columns. Beneath this platform level is a
glazed area with an additional bedroom, bathroom, storage, and living
areas, a floor of synthetic grass and a children's play area.
