Amado house - IDEA 2023

Amado house

MAKE architecture

Category

This project has adapted the exterior sliding screens of timber used in Japanese traditional houses to address Australian conditions, moderating harsh sun and discouraging blowflies, with flywire replacing rice paper. An Essendon period house was refurbished and contrasted with a new backyard pavilion with its own formalistic expression. Qualities of spaciousness, transparency and sunny outlook have been embraced.
