Architectural Design Studio Tony Owen Partners present home in Sydney, Australia, designed to demonstrate the advantages of concrete. Naturally, the owner is a manufacturer of concrete plans to build a house for himself, so the result shows all the benefits of solid construction. Due to the specific design of the property was carried out with materials and forms typical of Mediterranean-type architecture. The shape of the facade reminiscent of a sail vessel from the Greek Islands. Together with the strong desire of the client was to have as many conjunction with external open space. Yet the inquiry was to design a unique and economical home. The house is located in the barrier and the integration of different modules and levels to be better integration. Founded in L-shape in order to have maximum light and heat. The central courtyard is oriented west, allowing light to penetrate to the middle of the house and break a unique burden on the facade. Face of the house is open to the elements of the staircase. The original idea for this came from a James Bond movie “Never Say Never Again (1983).
These stairs bordering the central courtyard and the entrance is always rinsing in light and connect the different levels of sculptors like element. White walls of the facade were again driven by the idea of water sports. Say they soften the austerity of concrete, like un-materialized house and make vertical and horizontal levels seem ethereal.
