Mulgoa Street House, designed by Robert Simeoni Architects, is informed by the site that largely encloses from side boundaries. The house opens itself up to a central north-facing courtyard, an intermediate outdoor space, bringing in glimpses of sky and creating a layered series of views through the house. The building is composed to encourage an ambiguity of appearance between it as a multiple or a singular object and between open space and the singularity of the room.

Queensberry Street House, designed by Robert Simeoni Architects, is formally ambiguous, mediating between domestic and industrial typologies, such as the Victorian shop front and the suburban pavilion.

These architectural maneuvers construct spaces that expand and contract into one another rather than being defined by clearly delineated thresholds.

Among the greenery of the coniferous forest around, from the glitter of the sun from two sides: the sky and water, the Father’s House crashes into the landscape and becomes the central hero of the picture. Getting the maximum from the minimum of the basic materials – concrete, glass and rebated roof – is possible due to a competent approach to the composition, strict project supervision and a successful dialogue between the customer and the chief architect. The experience of the professionals, responsible for this project, came in handy for this house and its owner.
