This Bold Sculptural Architectural Home Was Designed for Family and Art

Located in Melbourne s innernorth, Ross is a bold architectural home that Ola Architecture Studio designed for a family of five, plus Woody the cocker spaniel and their art collection. Having lived in a converted warehouse previously, the clients wanted to maintain that sense of space but have a strong indoor, outdoor connection. The clients wanted a home that was simple with clean lines and a stark materiality palette but with some warmth. Although bold from the street, the contemporary home respects and responds to the heritage of Northcote through form and scale. The form echos the oldfashioned gable roof, which can be seen along the street. Ola Architecture Studio kept the interior minimalist, using a neutral material palette of concrete, black steel and glass. The minimalist interior provides a blank canvas for the owners to display their modern art.
