Rozelle Cloche

A central courtyard forms the open heart of the home, breaking open the plan to draw light, air and landscape deep into the centre of family life

.

.

Two zinc-clad bedroom volumes frame the courtyard — including a children’s room playfully shaped like a cubby house tent

.

A plunge pool sits at the centre of the house, casting shimmering light across the surrounding spaces

.

Whitewashed recycled brick, pigmented concrete and warm timber create a calm and tactile atmosphere throughout the home

.

Deep window apertures frame fragments of sky and landscape, carefully controlling light throughout the home

.

.

Timber staircases rise at opposite edges of the courtyard, expressed as sculptural elements within the plan.
