The Filter House Uses the Device of The Veranda as The Unifying Element
The intentional use of concrete masonry blocks, distinguishes this family home from the vernacular of this established and layered suburb. The Filter House uses the device of the veranda as the unifying element in a richly diverse streetscape. Two distinct volumes addressing the street are flanked by parapets of textural concrete blocks. The composition of these Bris Soleil dividers pay homage to the pastiche of neighbouring porches,yet provide a filtering of light and privacy. Beyond this threshold the nostalgic arrangement of living and sleeping quarters hinge off the central courtyard, again filtered from the street. A considered pairing back of finishes and details provide clear legibility and make for a comfortable family home.
