Hugh Broughton Architects

Team Members: Hugh Broughton and Philip Wells

A modular, steel monocoque structure hovering above the ground, the houses open up towards the south to maximise relationships between inside and the surrounding landscape, and on the north fa�ade, the house features more solid, protective elevations. Tough and steely on the outside, the interiors provide a warm cocoon for residents. Living areas are designed around central fireplaces, providing focus as well as contributing to the energy efficiency of the houses. Walls and floors are lined with local timber. Residents can choose the colour of their homes from a palette that evokes Russian rural homes, enhancing cultural context and bringing variety to the neighbourhood.
