The Szychowski residence brings a new language to its landscape. The creation of space is captured inside a concave northern façade that allows deep sun penetration into the residence. The roof rises from the south west to the north east connecting the earth to the sky spatially.

The public programme inside the residence is designed as one boundless space that cascades with the landscape. Spaces are separated by level change and floating building elements that include a decorative masonry wall, a two way fireplace, stairs and balustrades that weave through a double height space.

Upon enter into residence, the connection to landscape and light is maintained through a sequence of windows along the curving northern facade, the experience being amplified by a sweeping two directional ceiling which connects public spaces to the external environment.

From the owners:
“We embarked on a four year journey to realise our dream home, a positive and rewarding experience. We are eternally grateful to our architect and builder “the dream team” who were able to transform our ideas into reality.
The construction of our home was based on numerous meetings to workshop endless design opportunities, solar passive design principles, and use of materials which needed to be durable to withstand the harsh climate and provide low maintenance.
Every moment inside and outside of our home feels very special as it incorporates all the modern and spacious features we wanted within an intuitive design. The architecture respects the rural landscape on which it is set and allows generous amounts of natural light into every room and provides amazing views of the property to observe the local flora and fauna."
