Creekside Barn House

The rectangular volume rests on a restrained stucco base that lets the thatch and timber accents stand out. At the front, a double risalite frames the entrance, while at the rear a horizontal timber frame wraps the glazed façade, blurring the line between inside and outside.

Inside, a double-height entrance void and a skylight above the kitchen bring daylight deep into the plan. Concrete floors, white walls and large glass corners keep the interior calm, allowing views of the garden and the surrounding thatched neighbourhood to take precedence.

Completed in 2023 for a private client, the 242 m² house combines traditional materials such as reed, timber and stucco with anodised aluminium window frames, giving the archetypal barn form a quietly modern reading.
