Applecross is an elite suburb of Perth, Australia with great views on
Swan River. This house for family who often hosts guests was designed
by Jackson Clements Burrows. It is divided into two
halves – Verandah (the western side of the house) and
Enclosure (the eastern side of the house).
The western side characterized by double height space enclosed by
operable louvers which control natural ventilation and shading levels.
It’s mostly occupied during the day and evening.
The eastern side hosts the kitchen, garage, bedrooms, study and bathrooms.
There are also the dining room and various lounge areas which flow into outdoor
space. .
The translucent roof is striped with timber battens and the floors are a
warm dark timber. Cross-ventilation cools the spaces while passive solar
energy heats them.
