because the green space in the backyard is essential. the architects knew this and tried to occupy as little space as posible from the backyard (a green space in wich the children will play) and the only logical way to do this having in thought they needed a certain amount of space was simply tu put the house over the backyard.

I like it. The name and cantilever are justified, but interior furniture is bad. Too much pictures…

[...] The entire house is made from seamless timber skin which creates such awing opening. This modern home design has a thermal chimney and breezeway corridor allowing passive cooling in the extremely hot months which sometimes the extreme weather can cause several bush fires throughout the state. A rain screen found at this house to provide extra shade from the hot summer sun, and also insulates the inside in the winter. Designed by Architects Firm Jackson Clements Burrows Pty. Ltd Via [...]

Do agree with ygogolak we do not all view neighbourhoods from google earth the greater portion of the public will simply view this from street level whilst walking their dog. Perhaps they forgot to introduce a colorbond shed to adhere to this so called ‘neighbourhood setting’ of melbourne suburbia. That should keep the neighbours happy.

look up from my i-phone? what are you talking about? you know they put those google maps on here for a reason. why don’t you take a look at the aerial and get back to me.
“self-indulgent object buildings for themselves only, at the expense of the neighbourhood setting..”
1. the addition is in the rear of the house and is not subject to the public perception of the neighborhood
2. if something is done badly or wrong before we are supposed to accept that and design to that standard?

again, this is a private residence, people are allowed to do what they want to their house

somebody went a little overboard using distortion to make the cantilever and spaces look much different spatially than they really are…

ygogolak – look up from your iphone.
A key to sustaining density and growth is in managing the settings of our cities, in this case, the field of suburbia.
Land occupation is custodial, not rightful ownership.
Architects and their clients should stop building self-indulgent object buildings for themselves only, at the expense of the neighbourhood setting, collective natural resources, significant native vegetation, biodiversity, cultural heritage and beauty, all of which are actually of more interest to society than an inappropriate dcm rip-off…..

Very typical of a Victorian Architect. Commercial ideas adapted (or not) to a residence. Very sterile and lacks life. Disappointing also for Hawthorn ‘Howthorn’ with it being such a beautiful area. The front is amazing.

It appears someone forgot that people will live in this.
Look at the interior.
There are just a few scraps of designer furniture floating in space. It’s hardly the kind of place you’d want to sit in for extended periods of time.
A lot of effort has gone into how this addition will photograph from the outside, but it looks like designing a liveable interior was secondary.

I fail to see how an addition to the rear of a house “denies the needs of a broader society”. Sounds like you yourself have “snort self gratification like coke”.
I guess any person or family has a need for more space is subject to fixing all of the problems of the world.

Well said loosman. When will the this trend change?

By: loosman

the architects are clearly very proud of their cantilever. yawn. This is an example of perverse zombie modernism – the result of architects who snort self gratification like coke.
This work denies the broader needs of society, neighbourhood and city, and is evidence that a culture has lost its sight….
