The Millar house is located on the southern base of the Campsie Fells
adjacent to a coniferous forest which covers the lower slopes.
The new house is built in the grounds of a large existing villa in
which the client
lived prior to building their new house and is placed on the site
so as to maximise the southerly views and light to the living spaces
and bedrooms.
On this southerly aspect the site slopes away from the new house giving
the new house a sense of being elevated in the landscape. A large
timber deck placed against the living space wall floats over the landscape
and masks the junction of the house with the ground.
The new house has a zinc roof and is clad with oak boards organised
in panels with steel channels at first floor level framing large windows
from the lounge on the southern elevation.
Due to the amenity of the mature gardens the lounge has been placed
at ground level and is reached through a double height entrance hall
with stainless steel stair.
Making visual connections from space to space is a feature of the
house. In the
living space double doors either side of the hearth allow 2 rooms
along the south
facade to be linked. The lounge has also been designed to fill the
depth of the
house and windows in the north façade align with openings in
the south to give
through views to the lower gardens.
In short, the house although formal in nature has taken its clues
from the context
and makes a modest contribution to the debate on making housing in
rural locations.
