Sublime

𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 | by 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 Studio Bright: The dense urban fabric of Cremorne is under intense development pressure, with huge whole-site-consuming developments towering over original workers’ cottages. Within this context, and on a tight 144 sqm site, the resurrection of a dilapidated weatherboard Victorian could quite understandably be a surrender to the limitations of its traditional plan form and tricky site constraints. A quick and direct fix-up was initially envisaged; however, something more ambitious evolved during the design process as our client grew in the belief that long-term programmatic needs could be satisfied on the site. With a full house brief and no space, the need to build hard on boundaries and to project the plan upwards was a challenging necessity. Issues of natural lighting, view outlook, privacy from/for neighbors, and negative off-site impacts are aggravated. Garden Tower House has a singular, all-encompassing outer skin of breeze-block, employed to diffuse the boundary interface and moderate the two-way arm-wrestle between opportunity and detriment. Externally, the tower elements appear bluff and veiled, mediating the private realm from the surrounding context. From inside, sunlight filters through, and views out are glimpsed through the myriad holes of the block pattern.
