Lead Architects: Nick Lukas
Text by Rose Onans. The Melbourne home that Architecton Director Nick Lukas designed for himself and his family balances the simplicity of rectilinear forms and raw materials such as concrete, steel, and glass with elegant, detailed interiors. Externally, the architecture reads like a series of intersecting light and dark planes. Despite the abundance of glass, the front façade is deliberately closed, with a deep setback and double-height off-form concrete wall creating a sense of protection from the street. Operable black louver screens create an additional layer across the glazing that allows the level of privacy and sunlight to be controlled.
