Handover – Concrete House in Hawthorn

This month, a sub­stan­tial bespoke res­i­dence reached com­ple­tion of con­struc­tion, mark­ing an excit­ing mile­stone with han­dover to the client and builder Fer­n­dale VIC. Organ­ised around a spi­ralling plan, the home is formed in in situ con­crete across three lev­els, cre­at­ing a con­tin­u­ous spa­tial ascent. 

At the low­er lev­el, a plant­ed ter­race estab­lish­es the base of the home, with mature trees extend­ing through and inter­sect­ing mul­ti­ple floors, strength­en­ing the con­nec­tion between archi­tec­ture and landscape. 

At the ground lev­el, a pool pavil­ion and bar­be­cue area con­nect to expan­sive open liv­ing spaces, estab­lish­ing a strong rela­tion­ship between indoor and out­door life. Above, pri­vate rooms are paired with ele­vat­ed gar­dens and framed views toward the city, as the diag­o­nal spi­ral of the home con­tin­ues its upward pro­gres­sion through space.
