Project Description
The clients of Hill House, a busy couple and their young son, contacted us with a property in the leafy south-east Melbourne suburb of Wheelers Hill. The site was bounded by open parkland on two sides and boasted views to the peaks of the Dandenong Ranges. The brief was for a new family home—one to see their son comfortable as he moved through childhood, into his teens, and beyond, and also to welcome and accommodate the needs of visiting family.
Early on, it became apparent that there was a deep-seated desire driving this project which had nothing to do with the tangible aspects of architecture, but with what it symbolised—the desire to make a ‘home’. Tapping into what this meant for our clients, and how we could reflect it authentically, became crucial in the success of this beautiful family home.
