The house at 57 Tivoli Road, formally one of a series of attached row houses of disparate & eclectic housing styles, forms a modern bookend to the procession of houses. The narrow, sloping, corner site presented the opportunity to build across the full width of the block through one singular architectural from. The distinct zig zag shape allows a six metre-long window in the living room slides open to views of the city. The singular form is enhanced through the use of a singular material. The exterior is clad in a custom engineered pattern of locally sourced bluestone panelling; the interior soften with timber, a material favoured by the clients. The extensive wood panelling includes an angular timber feature stair and bunk rooms for the client’s grandchildren, fashioned to reference train carriages. A private terrace with lush plantings, climb over the wall as an organic counter-part to the rectilinear stone patterning.
