Main Ridge Residence - IDEA 2023

Main Ridge Residence

McAllister Alcock Architects

The courtyard design of this house maximises northern light and creates zones. A pod-like timber ‘drum’ marks the pivot point between the areas. A sculptural plywood ceiling, extending beyond the glass and providing sun protection, forms a horizontal ribbon which links the public and private areas of the main pavilion. 

Intriguing crafted details include leather straps fabricated by a local saddle maker for door handles and light fittings made from satin brass, cork and glass.
