Glass House
INDIVIDUAL ARCHITECTURE / A PERSONAL RESPONSE
A home shaped
by the hillside.
Glass House takes on a steep Middleton Beach site with a clear architectural response. The home follows a fall of more than twenty metres, turning a challenging slope into an opportunity for expansive views.

01 / THE DESIGN
Living with
the outlook.
Generous glazing connects rooms with the coastline, while changes in level respond to the contours of the land. The design makes the landscape part of the experience of moving through the home.
02 / MATERIAL & DETAIL
Useful space
beneath the surface.
Water tanks are concealed under the house, using the slope to accommodate essential services. Crisp forms and a restrained palette allow the outlook to remain the focus.
