RED HILL HOUSE
We are very excited to share this new project.
Red Hill House is equal parts luxury lifestyle and simple retreat. A classic, site-specific home inspired by a 3D printer's ability to create complex structures. The design combines the shape of a double helix expressed through the delicately curved staircase with a simple external form referencing classical Italian architecture.
Because of its northern orientation, we were able to design a simple structure that would withstand the test of time, even embrace an often harsh climate. While the exteriors are traditional, the interiors are modern, clean, and soft, with an inviting colour palette that creates a variety of atmospheres demarcated by the double helix. The movement up and down the tactile walls, creates a richly varied experience that immerses the visitor in quiet, calm spaces, cool and warm rooms.
The result is an elegant home for modern living that sits comfortably on the site and reflects the client's aspiration and personal taste.
