Kyneton House / Edition Office

Our clients, self-described as being in the autumn years of their lives, were relocating and downsizing away from an expansive rural property. Conscious of reflecting this period of their lives, they hoped the home might capture the qualities and atmosphere of autumnal light, colour and texture.

Lauriston House / Seeley Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 17:00:00 +0000

A deep engagement with the expansive and undulating rural context of the house was the starting point for the design of the Lauriston house, with a design response that simultaneously buries into and leaps from the hilly landscape near Kyneton Victoria. The geometrically aligned rows of olive trees set against a voluptuous landscape evoke a quiet, unspoken tension. The house mimics this tension with the relationship of a meticulously detailed and structured frame against a seemingly effortless floating, sinuous roof. Inspiration for the material palette was taken from local materials and textures. Messmate timber linings follow the twists of the expressive ceiling, complimented by wide Messmate flooring and French pattern bluestone inspired by the colonial footpaths of Piper Street in nearby Kyneton. The home respects and enhances its environment, offering prospects of retreat and respite, an evocative place for gathering.

Kyneton Residence / Intermode Pty. Ltd

Jonathan Alarcón — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This residence was built on a challenging block of land in Kyneton. It is situated on the site of a former stone quarry on a steep hill where very little flat land existed. Kyneton’s Residence’s owners were keen to build a modern home on their block but an affordable one. Nearing retirement, and having had a bad experience with cost overruns on a previous project with another architectural practice, the owners wanted to minimise their financial risk.
