A sanctuary within a suburban scale setting. The Tennyson Residence starts with a gate entry from a narrow harsh street and progresses through a series of crafted and textured spaces created by the built forms and the negative spaces in between.
To create a relaxed and retreat style home that captures the beach side setting, the concept was to compose a series of forms that framed views, screened spaces from the neighbouring houses, and generated visual and usable spaces off a informal open-plan living.
The off-set of building forms from one another create courtyards, undercover terraces and internal spaces all connected to produce a variety of environments enriched by the textured materials, natural light and sculptured landscapes that surround them. The design allowing for a flexible home for the young family of five to enjoy together, isolate from one another, or share with their large extended families.
