Wolaroi
NESTLED INTO TAMARAMA GULLY, WOLAROI HOUSE IS THE CONTEMPORARY REWORKING OF A BEACHSIDE RESIDENCE, BALANCING ARCHITECTURAL PRECISION WITH SOFTNESS AND EASE.
SET WITHIN THE STEEP, VERDANT EDGE OF TAMARAMA GULLY, THE PROJECT ADAPTS THE EXISTING STRUCTURE TO CREATE A LIGHT-FILLED RETREAT THAT OPENS TO THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE WITH A REFINED SPATIAL LOGIC THAT SHAPES THE DAILY RHYTHMS OF THE OCCUPANTS.
WOLAROI HOUSE IS A HOME FOR A FATHER AND HIS FOUR CHILDREN, DESIGNED TO CREATE A MULTI-FUNCTIONAL AND CASUAL HOME THAT FELT GROUNDED AND RESTORATIVE, ALLOWING THE HOUSE TO BECOME A QUIET COUNTERPOINT TO THE INTENSITY OF ITS COASTAL SETTING.
MATERIALITY IS ROBUST AND REFINED, GUIDED BY A BALANCE OF RAWNESS AND ELEGANCE ACROSS A PALETTE OF EUROPEAN OAK, CARRARA MARBLE, CEPPO DI GRE LIMESTONE AND WHITEWASHED WALLS.
