Tassie Kite House

A new two-storey house was proposed in a small coastal town on the north coast of Tasmania. The site has a unique setting with un-interupted ocean views towards the north and rolling hills to the south.

 

The proposed layout runs along a north-south axis; the main west wall was rotated by 20 degrees to compensate for the angular site and focus views from living areas out towards the ocean.


A double garage and main entry are nestled behind the feature blade wall, which acts as a protective barrier from harsh afternoon sun and westerly winds.

 

The first floor contains kitchen and dining areas that take advantage of 360 degree views. A large terrace is located strategically over the garage to capture those same views. A raked skilion roof caps the house and continues the angled/ triangular theme.

 

Material Used :
1. Colorbond cladding
2. Lysaght steel
