House Lupe | LINTEL Studio for Architecture
Once an inward looking cottage plagued by its bursting footprint, House Lupe is today composed around simple moments for contemplation. The project frames uncomplicated views to street side and neighbouring planting while maintaining necessary inner city privacy. Its carefully placed openings introduce an abundance of natural light without exposing the interior to the baking sun.
Today Australian families are looking beyond purely functional living, growing increasingly interested in conjuring beautiful and varied environments to enjoy at home. House Lupe is designed to offer its inhabitants the greatest possible flexibility within a limited footprint able to be opened up and closed off on multiple planes, both to the outdoors and to itself. This functionality accommodates the changing needs of a growing family who frequently receives international visitors. Importantly, architectural merit is sought by each of the home’s various guises, ensuring that the experience of the building remains exceptional.
Goodhope | Those Architects
Goodhope reinvents a set of commercial buildings in Sydney’s Paddington, consolidating a family legacy, with two distinct spaces operating seamlessly in partnership. Housing the new office for See Saw Films, the building celebrates the artistic link between architecture and film. Seeking to mimic the rich, desaturated qualities of See Saw films, there is a cinematic quality to the resulting built form.
A consideration of human scale led to the selection of handmade bricks which act as a unifying ribbon that weaves its way through the building, anchoring the user in space. While the buildings function discretely and look unrelated from the street, inside the distinction dissolves. They share a spatial logic, a tight material language of off form concrete, Victorian ash timber work and a white brick skin the playful unifying element weaving its way from outside to in.
Goodhope is a testament to the interconnected craft of film and architecture.
