The River House Sydney

The River House by Sydney based MCK architects is a combination of curved lines, warm and textured materials and a daring home built on a difficult site. With the site both steep and awkwardly shaped, with magnificent North facing panoramic views over the Lane Cove river. The air-space was therefore cleverly utilised to gain additional footprint space. Generous circulation zones greet the user upon entry. A wedge-shaped joinery box appears floating like an island, serving as storage and separating the circulation zones from the main living zone. The main living zone is a bent tube shaped form with the kitchen as the central element. The house itself relates to its suburban context at it’s street edge, and it’s more natural contours and organic lines on the non-street side reflecting it’s greatest influence… the river.
