Construction Update – Concrete House in Hawthorn

Con­struc­tion is advanc­ing on the bespoke three-lev­el con­crete house in Hawthorn, with the raw struc­ture now defin­ing the archi­tec­ture. The sweep­ing in-situ con­crete façade is ful­ly in place, its spi­ral curve extend­ing through to the rear, estab­lish­ing the project’s defin­ing gesture.

Inside, the inter­play of curv­ing con­crete walls and black steel details is becom­ing more pro­nounced. The sol­id steel plate stair now can­tilevers from the curv­ing wall, anchor­ing the cen­tral stair hall. A ver­ti­cal stack of spaces are posi­tioned to over­look the pool and ter­race. Fur­ther into the space, the open plan kitchen and liv­ing space are begin­ning to be installed with fine­ly craft­ed join­ery still to come. Here expan­sive glaz­ing opens direct­ly onto the rear ter­race, fos­ter­ing light and openness.

The pool pavil­ion is also emerg­ing, with a scal­loped roofline over­hang, work­ing back to the con­crete curves.

With the struc­tur­al frame­work large­ly com­plete, the build is shift­ing toward refine­ment of inte­ri­ors and detailing.
