Custom Design - Deconstruction

The client is a family of three from Shanghai. After various investigations, it was decided to purchase an area of ​​about 800 square meters in Plympton Park located in the school district. Plympton international college is the only public Chinese-English bilingual school in Adelaide. I hope that children can successfully carry out Chinese and English Convergence.

The male owner is a landscape architect in China, working for a foreign-owned landscape firm. After inspecting many custom designs made by builders, he chose us to design for him. He hopes this house can be more unique and can includes his own memories in Shanghai. After studying many of the houses that have been built in Australia, it is found that many designs are the same. We hope that if some deconstruction ideas can be added to small architectural designs, some sparks can be generated.

Knowing that the male owner grew up in the alley, he hopes to start this design from the alley. We analyze and simplify the characteristics of the alley and break it up and reorganize it. And the emphasis is on the word "yard". After trying more than 100 different combination methods, we chose the final one, and then through continuous trial and construction, this design only has a sense of unique elements extracted from his past, but also maintains the most basic house design requirements for comfort.
