Kew House 2
The angular timber structure acts as anchor to the cantilevered copper box. The floating living area accommodated in this protrusion frames Melbourne's Yarra River views while opening onto the centralised outdoor entertaining area and swimming pool. Through carefully orchestrated levels, the home takes full advantage of both the northern orientation and south facing views. A versatile floor plan maximises space for indoor and outdoor living.
