April 2017 | HATZ was featured in the recent edition of Sandcastles magazine showcasing 'Australia's greatest coastal homes'. The celebrated project, 'Paradise House', responded to very particular site conditions and client requirements. Environmental, planning, topographical, visual, and climatic site conditions were mapped, analysed and integrated into a set of design constraints that responded to these dynamic conditions. The house is organised as a 3-d spiral, foreshortening a conventional linear arrangement and creating both internalised as well expansive views, allowing privacy, visual adjacency and a protected outdoor space typical of courtyard house typologies. Views to the site delineate a set of controlled perspective lines that define the orientation and form ramping volumes.
