An Architect's Own Home Designed for Himself & His Two Sons (House Tour)

Күн бұрын

An architect’s own home, Camp Cove House is the result of a rapid design evolution that saw an old brick house turned into a contemporary family dwelling. Utilising windows by Vitrocsa, Tobias Partners opens the house to natural light and the external environment.
Settled into the former fishing village of Watsons Bay, Camp Cove House is an architect’s own home. Although the house can be accessed via three separate entrances, an official house tour would begin through the Cove Street entrance, at the solid spotted gum front door with a bronze handle. As an architect’s own home, the spatial layout of the house is distinct and efficient; the kitchen-living-dining area sits to the right of the entryway, the lounge is to the left, the bedrooms and bathrooms occupy the second floor and the lower level is dedicated to utility.
Glazing by Vitrocsa plays an important role in transforming the pre-existing structure into an architect’s own home. The floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors in the living room present as subtle and inconspicuous, visually giving way to the view. Whilst the glass allows light to flood the interior, the flush details at the junctions of the glazing system and architecture create a sense of continuity between the different thresholds of the home.
Camp Cove House is an architect’s own home, instinctively crafted to embrace its context. By taking an intuitive approach to the architecture and interior design, Tobias Partners is able to create a home that is effortlessly liveable.

As a designer, I think mostly because it's our passion, it's what we breathe for. I'd gladly give any of my projects walk-though and explanation of what every single detail means.

@Meepmeep888 Жыл бұрын

What I love about this “home” is that we can highlight and appreciate its elevated and unique features and arrangement, BUT, it’s not so out of touch that it’s uncomfortable. It looks legitimately occupiable and relatable, while still maintaining a level of design that gives it that stylish touch only an architect/designer can create for oneself

One of, if not my favourite Local Project video. Beauitful spaces, lovely colours, amazing greenery, wonderfully articulated. Great home, great video. Currently watching this whilst I'm grinding through my architecture studies in my first year at university in Bristol, UK. I loved the bit at the end where he said "sometimes you don't overthink things and some of the decisions you make are a lot more intuitive, there can be some really beautiful outcomes that come from the speed of the process." As a master overthinker, I often struggle with speeding up my creative process. Inspirational stuff. I hope one day I can design my own home for my future family.
