The Ross Street House by Robert Mills Architects
Robert Mills Architects have sent us some photos of the Ross Street house in Melbourne, Australia.
From the architects:
The new timber, zinc and concrete Ross Street home is a study in surprise. The sharp angularity of the concrete facade and zinc awning blades invoke a clean modernist aesthetic. Inside, the light and mood softens immediately with a rendered steel sculptural staircase as the pivotal ground floor focus, combined with the interiors created by Hassell. As a true example of bringing the outdoors in, frameless glass windows seamlessly link the interior to the same level outside, which includes a 13.5m pool running the length of the north wall.

Love the house! The stair case is something else – so whimsical and light amongst the clean straight lines of everything else.

Another great contemporary piece.
Would like to use the 2nd floor awning as patio space.
(although the mirror next to the tub enlarges the BR, wiping it down after each use…. p.i.t.a. )

Not feeling this one at all. It feels “forced”.

The concrete looks ugly. The forms are fine though. Use other materials next time.

GOOD USE OF SPACE, LOOKS VERY MODEST FROM THE FRONT, COMPLETELY SURPRISING INTERIOR.
