Our young clients came to use after buying their land in Jan Juc- a subdivided block that used to be the side yard and swimming pool for the house next door. The angular block was complex to design for and required very careful navigation of complexities of slope, setbacks and overlooking whilst seeking northern sunlight for living areas. We found the solution in the design of two pavilions aligned with the street, as a way to minimise the impact of 9 metre setbacks and maximise living space. We used Australian hardwood cladding defined by rounded edges with glass block skylights to let the sun in and prevent overlooking. The house is now home to a young family living the coastal lifestyle bathed in sun.
