Residential Architecture: Linear House by Architects EAT: “..This wood and steel house..has a huge projecting roof that shelters a first floor barbeque deck..A circular skylight punches through the roof of the terrace..A concrete wall splits the building into two long narrow halves. The architects planned both of these sides using the visual metaphor of “beads on a string”, which dictates that rooms are arranged in a linear series..The project considers sustainability at a strategic level: space zoning, cross ventilation, solar orientation and thermal mass, as well as utilising rain water storage, solar electricity, insulation and double glazing to further enhance the sustainable outcome of the house..” Exterior wood cladding, interior rich in material sensibility, indoor/outdoor focus, lovely pool atop the garage..
