Idea for this house was to preserving the day light to growing area of the garden land. The architect, Harrison and White, also decided build Foyn-Johanson House without reduce the garden area. These aims fulfilled by reverse shadow casting – taking the area of space that is to have direct light and extruding it along the different paths of the sun. This is then subtracted from the barn-like form that is allowed under the planning controls. The surface created from this then becomes the external screen – and this acts as both balustrading and sun screening to the deck and western façade.

Within is an open living space on ground level, two bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor and an occupiable attic space under the ridge with views back to the city. The rear facade is a sustainable artificial timber screen system used for sunshading, balustrading and view screening. The side walling is treated like a roof.

Architects: Harrison and White
Location: Northcote, Melbourne, Australia
