27 Rule Street | Officer Woods Architects

27 Rule Street is conceived as a place connected to ground, street, garden and longer views, unusually public with carefully considered privacy. An upside-down house on a sloping site, the split level presents a modest street presentation and offers the public glimpses right through the house of the spectacular outlook afforded by its location and elevation.

Providing spatial equity between house and garden, and ample deep soil areas through a compact footprint, it demonstrates that exploiting the natural topography of the site allows for sweeping vistas to be enjoyed while respecting streetscape and not compromising privacy of adjoining properties.
