A 7m high glass entry atrium dominates the road aspect of this home, which provides a feeling of momentum between spaces inside, without giving away too much about the internal workings.

Concrete tilt-panel exterior walls are used to create the front living “bunker” area. We integrated a solid concrete “social lounge” into this bunker-style home. The room sits on the south side of the home, and is a quiet interaction space with a seating-level window that picture frames the exterior plantings.
