It addresses the site and also considered a limited material selection as part of its main design concept.
Site and location
The building is a direct design response towards the surrounding site and situated on a sloping landscape.[1] The two storey house is formed by a right-angled triangle plan aligning with the existing condition of the sloping ground, which acts as a retaining wall as it is semi-recessed into the slanted site.[2] It is orientated in a way that provides an overlook to the Bass Strait and towards the townships of Lorne and Aireys Inlet through eucalyptus with a 180 degree view.[3]
Form and program
House at Big hill is based on a singular form.
The design includes "an interest in the use of the platonic form amongst the Victorian moderns."[
