The Fulcrum House explores and evolves a contemporary domestic archetype that has become familiar to the suburban streets of Christchurch; a model that commonly sees a single-storied garage, a double height entry atrium and a two-storied (often gabled) form containing the primary living spaces, arranged in a formal line up from shortest to tallest and pushed hard against the southern boundary of the property (in a "fight the boundary, chase the sun" type approach). In this instance, this 'familiar' plan is deconstructed and rearranged to suit the trapezoidal geometry of the site boundaries, utilising the central entry atrium as a fulcrum or pivot point, providing a common circulation point between public living, private sleeping and auxiliary service spaces.
