Stonehawke House by Base Architecture
Stonehawke House by Base Architecture
A new approach to the surrounds presented by Base Architecture to design this Stonehawke house in Brisbane. The house is wedged into the side of a hill and nestled into a large parcel of heavily wooded environmentally protected land. This charred box protrudes horizontally like fallen lumber. Solidly grounded into the site, the body of the house wraps itself around an ‘out of ground off form concrete pool’ that also reflects the charred timber in its internal finish.

With materiallity appearance concept, the cladding and structure has been represented accordingly with rough sawn stained plywood, galvanised steel and combination of horizontal and vertical sections mimicking the tree forms. From this point it was critical to both soften and refine the palette to the interior detailing whilst being mindful of the importance of the cohesion and notion of interior to exterior. Once formally inside the occupants are transferred both visually and physically between this notion as the house opens up with counter balanced glazing systems and sliding external glass walls.

The houses are kinda out-of-the-ordinary, but then again ordinary gets boring in the long run. It’s really elegant though, no to mention the sophisticated design and concept.

Hey Archnewhome,
Thanks, on a related note, The word ironmongery is derived from the field of iron industry. The basic product used in the construction of buildings and configuration of new products is iron. Architectural ironmongery is sometimes also referred to as architectural metal work or “ironmongery”.

Ola! Archnewhome,
Thanks you for your post, Balustrades have attained an almost universal importance when it comes to house building and house decoration. In fact, balustrades are not a recent architectural phenomenon. The history of balustrades can be traced back to the great Roman Empire when the ruling elite started building huge mansions and palaces with these balustrades as a major feature of the external and internal architecture.
Good Job!
