What is the ‘big (IDEA)’ behind this project?
The client’s vision was to create a home that was unique in design but still functional and easy to live in. Scott Walker and Robert Backhouse of HASSELL used materials such as polished concrete, anthracite stone, and limed white oak, for their simplicity and inherent beauty. The materials primarily had to enhance the space, or in other words, materials weren’t selected to dress the space up but rather reinforce it. Be it through materiality, composition or detailing, ‘innovation’ was driven through a dedication to a project vision of living that is considered, and most importantly, social.
