Bimbadeen House in Fairhaven
24 Jul 2021
Architecture: Lachlan Shepherd Architects
Location: Fairhaven, Victoria, Australia
Bimbadeen House
Bimbadeen House House is designed to compliment surrounding bush by nestling into the sloping site. The simple, low-lying, protective external form contrasts its light-filled, open planned interior.
Subdued, low-maintenance materials have been utilised so that the building will continue to age gracefully and settle in further with its bush context.
What was the brief?
A modernist, light-filled, compact home that was protected/shielded from street view, but felt completely open internally.
Key products used:
Weathering (oxidised) steel, silvertop ash weatherboards, concrete burnished floor.
What were the key challenges?
Restrictive building envelope on the wrong side of the allotment (close to neighbour) & bushfire threat
What were the solutions?
Courtyard typology to “frame” bush views, but de-emphasise the neighbouring dwelling and protect internal amenity. Bushfire appropriate materials were utilised to adhere to site requirements.
