An Architecture Garden House Connected to Nature (House Tour)
Inside an architectural garden house, the home’s connection to nature is emphasised through sliding doors, high ceilings, wide windows and open living spaces. A combined effort with architecture by Polly Harbison Design and interior design by Arent&Pyke, the extensions to the existing Federation-era home have answered the clients’ desire to create a relationship between the internal living spaces and garden. Capturing the owner’s unique characteristics, Linfield House is a celebration of colour, light and natural elements that also results in a calm and enduring place for its owners to enjoy.
From the beginning of the house tour of an architectural garden house, the relationship between past and present is shown through the original Federation-era front and the modern extensions out back. Avoiding the typical choice to place the bedrooms upstairs, Polly Harbison Design instead focused on providing the ability for each room to draw upon the surrounding greenery on ground level. For an architectural garden house, simple and robust materials were used such as recycled brick, which ties the new contemporary form to the existing house, and off-form concrete that enables the structural gymnastics of the modern extensions to work.
Designing the interior of an architectural garden house, Arent&Pyke implements a uniqueness through colour and texture. Seen upon the wall structure and the chosen finishes, the palette brings a grounding earthiness into the home. Additionally, the client’s artwork is used as inspiration for the material choices. Deep green joinery, Calcutta Vallie and a terrazzo checkerboard floor are employed within the residence. Adding distinctive moments within an architectural garden house, the ensuite features a circular window that frames the moon at night and welcomes a wealth of light and connection to nature throughout the day – a feature that has become one of the clients’ favourite parts of the home.
By celebrating elements of old and new, Polly Harbison Design and Arent&Pyke have helped each internal space embrace its own nuances whilst subtly weaving together the home’s eras. Though the garden is largely celebrated, it is the new kitchen and living spaces that connect outward and offer the owners a place to feel one with nature. Designed to be more than just an architectural garden house, Linfield House is a home that celebrates intimacy, connection and nostalgia.
