Holcroft House.

ArchiPro Project Summary - Contemporary family home designed for urban living, featuring vertical louvres for light and openness while maintaining a visual connection to the bustling surroundings.

Title:: Holcroft House
Architectural Designer:: Design House Architecture
Category:: Residential

This contemporary family home provides a sense of space and place for a family moving to a compact city site after years in the country. The proximity to an iconic and busy road required a measured level of engagement with the surrounds. Repeated use of vertical louvres provides this guarded visual connection, whilst creating a sense of light, movement and openness. Connections within the site are more direct, with space exaggerated through architectural techniques throughout.
