Architecture studio Edition Office designs a house in Australia's Mossy Point. It is defined by its unique cutout roof structure and fiber-cement cladding. The house hosts three bedrooms and rests on a parallel blockwork wall nestled in a wooded area. The structure has two levels with a dramatic roofline that forms an outdoor dining space with optimal sheltering.
Edition Office's Kim Bridgland tells Dezeen, "The colour and texture of this cladding perfectly matched the trunks of the surrounding trees, aesthetically tethering the home to its surroundings." The owners explain "We wanted a home that provided privacy while capitalising on the magnificent tree-filtered views to the north and east. We wanted to maximise the light in the living and dining areas and for them to have access to the outdoors."
