Whitehall Road …. perfectly relaxed

The house at Whitehall Road by b.e Architecture is positioned at the crest of a hill, taking advantage of the sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. A grove of mature gum trees inform the location of the house; their tall and slender trunks countering the low horizontality of the building and providing shade to the pool and deck areas. The overriding gesture of the building is the massive drystone wall running the full length of the house. It is cut into the earth, at once anchoring the house and countering the exposure of the site.

The form of the house is a series of rectilinear pavilions, orientated predominantly to follow the drystone wall. The pavilion form downplays the scale of the five bedroom house, and allows for a variety of outdoor, indoor and interstitial spaces.

The predominant materials are stone, timber, glass and render. The heaviness and solidity of the stone and the scale of the timber sections provide a strong contrast to the large expanses of glass which feature throughout. We have so much love for this house nice one b.e Architecture.
