rogramme This house challenges the
conspicuous luxury of
affluent suburban dwellings
by employing materials more
commonly associated with
low-cost construction but used
with great precision. Arranged
in blocks around a densely
planted garden, the building
is experienced from the inside
out. The steel pivoting door in
the open lobby opens directly
into the garden, which acts
as cooling sink and drainage
management system. The living
room faces the morning sun
with a kitchen to the south.The bedrooms above are linked
by glazed bridges. A single
storey guest pavilion sits to the
north. The roof is lifted off the
body of the house to facilitate
wind cooling, like the tropical
Landrover from which it takes
its name.
