Hanson’s House | XAAP Design Pty Ltd

The project is meticulously crafted for an architect’s personal residence. The duplex layout is artfully configured to optimize privacy and minimize interference between the two households, strategically positioning entrances and backyards. Drawing inspiration from a vertical wave concept, the building facade elegantly complements its surroundings. Softened corner principles extend to both interior and landscape design. The structural integrity of the building is underscored by the use of 50 tons of steel, facilitating large spans and cantilevers. The external walls, constructed with Ductal from Holcim, boast Concrete C120 strength, ensuring durability and resilience. Furthermore, double layer insulation and double-glazed window systems contribute to significant energy savings. Prefabrication technologies streamline construction, reducing onsite labor and environmental impact. The building cost is balanced by strategically increasing material costs while reducing onsite labor work time. This approach ensures optimal efficiency without compromising on quality or structural integrity, ultimately contributing to a cost-effective yet high-quality final product.
