Suburban infill in Bentleigh - As featured on Domain and The Herald Sun

The 'Brodecky House' is a new double story residence is designed for accessibility on the ground floor and amplifying the living zone on a narrow lot size. The planning is spatially efficient to accommodate the restrictive site conditions and controls while maximising the dwellings amenity.

Formally, the pitched volume is subtracted by large openings, creating deep eaves and window sills. This aims to engage with the street and address the corner nature of the house. These openings blur the thresholds between indoor and outdoor to accommodate various spatial uses.

The 'Brodecky House' was nominated for the 2019 Dulux Colour Awards Single Residential Exterior prize.
