Cantilevered Family Home in Sydney Brings Privacy to Indoor-Outdoor Interplay

ByMyProperty Life

Cantilevered homes have a certain remarkable charm about them; even f we have seen plenty of them around. Just the idea of a large and heavy structure seemingly hanging in the air gets us excited! Designed by March Studio, the Studley Park House in Melbourne is one such gorgeous home where the cantilevered structure is balanced with a dramatic and dark façade that feels both unique and contemporary. The house surprises you in more ways than one with its façade being crafted using wooden dowels and planks that combine to form a ‘fence of complete privacy’. The round window is another smart feature that grabs attention while colorful accents enliven the interior.

Street facade of Studley Park House in Melbourne feels dashing and contemporary

The house has been intentionally placed on the rear of the lot to create enough space for the cantilevered upper level structure at the front. Then you have an interior that feels contemporary and practical with its engaging open plan living area, kitchen and dining space. With the bedrooms and bathrooms placed on the upper level, each particular zone has a style of its own. Black, white and pops of green form the color scheme that completes this modern Melbourne home that is unlike any other in the neighborhood. [Photography: Peter Bennetts]

The client’s focus on their young family and entertaining is reflected through the ground floor where the relationship between indoor and outdoor, living the cooking is fluid and interconnected. While the upper floor of the home aims to prepare the family for the later stages of their children’s lives, where the option for privacy and separation will become as important as the values of shared space.

    Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle. At ground level, a back-split condition responds to the natural slope of the site. An adventurous sectional arrangement continues vertically upward, with additional split levels arranged around a 3-storey light well, drawing sunlight (and moonlight) deep into the house. A home office occupies the light well, with views to the living room above, and a library space below. What would typically be the dark middle of the house is bathed in sunlight and enjoys a feeling of expansive vertical space. The various regions of the home are all closely knit together across this interior light well, creating an interesting balance between separation and intimacy: While the family may be individually occupied with remote activities (cooking, lounging, working, playing), they are always quickly and easily engaged with one another. The three principal living spaces (Living room, Kitchen/ Dining area, Library) also expand outwards, into separate exterior areas, each with its own unique and complementary character. At ground level, an arrangement of subtle level changes and low partitions gradually increase the degree of privacy as one moves from the street, through the interior, and into a secluded, forested back garden. The third floor living room – an urbanized version of a cabin in the woods with wood stove and cedar ceiling – nestles intimately into tree tops at one end, and opens widely toward the sky at the other. An upper level outdoor terrace offers easy enjoyment of the city skyline, urban tree canopy, sunsets, and the night sky. The house is thus organized around three principal axes which connect the interior with the outdoors: a ground level Garden Axis, a third level Sky Axis, and a vertical Sun Axis.
