Crone Partners Melbourne office has designed the Good Residence in Sandringham, a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The project explores notions of achieving a highly glazed, modern inner suburban home that offered its inhabitants the option of passively controlling their living environment, whilst ticking off a demanding functional brief, seemed initially to be a substantial challenge. According to the architects: “The house presents as a blank canvas, onto which the family inserts the detail of their ever changing lives. It provides flexibility for growth and change, with spaces that can be opened up and connected, or closed down for more restricted and intimate use. The primary living zone has been created to serve the clients specific needs for an interactive informal space that caters for the variance of their day to day lives. It flows effortlessly from one functional area to another and can be opened up to embrace the adjoining outdoor spaces, in particular the northerly orientated back yard and lap pool.”
