Thompson Residence | Cullinan Ivanov Partnership Pty Ltd
A new family home, perfectly situated facing due north and buried into the landscape. This allowed the whole whole house to be on one level. While the eastern side of the house is part of the landscape the northern ends of the pavilions rise above the ground towards the sunlight.
The entry sequence deliberately funnels and compresses the approach to the house towards a grand entry door, once opened revealing the central lightfilled courtyard. The house is made up of two pavilions along the side boundaries, housing the private bedroom spaces, and connected by the public living/dining/kitchen space. This arrangement forms a central courtyard which is the focus of all the public and private spaces, and contains a swimming pool and landscaped lawns stepping down to the north.
