Australian designers from Morris Partnership designed this amazing Richmond House in a suburb of Melbourne. Overlooking three sides and built on a 264 square meters plot near an adjacent Victorian-styled cottage, the house manages to stay low in the eclectic neighborhood, but still gets the eye whenever you pass by in the evening. “Responding boldly to these challenges, the Architect has embraced the best of the eclectic neighborhood and celebrated the tension of this inner city location. The house is assertive in its presence but not dominating. It contributes to the vitality and interest of the area. The house form is simple and rectilinear. Rich browns and reds contrast strongly with the grey of the cement sheet. The lustrous finish of aluminium is enhanced by the tension of the raw woven metal mesh. Light flows through the mesh to gently filter light to the ground floor rooms.”
