Ross Street Modernist House Design by Robert Mills Architects

Robert Mills Architects have designed the Ross Street house surrounded by a pool of water 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.

Roy House – Luxury House Remodeling by Stanic Harding

Project description by architects / Stanic Harding:

The main street entrance was relocated to the new portion of the building. This provided a strong circulation spine from which all other parts of the house are accessed. The children’s bedrooms are accessed from the entry area with a further stair linking to the master bedroom suite and study on the upper level. Visitors are brought down into the main living areas of the house as directly as possible via the open wide stair within the vertically oriented entry volume. The main living area runs the full length of the site from the reinstated light court on the street side through to the mature trees within the garden. The kitchen / laundry area relates to the courtyard and is directly connected to the garage / undercroft space below. The dining space is bounded by a banquette seat running along the change of level down to the living area. A series of doors lead onto the raised terrace over the garage or down to the garden below. The garden level had to be maintained to protect the existing trees and retain the rear lane access. An external hard stand and a covered garage are located at this level linking to a series of subterranean storage spaces within the undercroft of the house.
