A Malvern family home built around choreographed sight lines, symmetry and natural materials.

The project
mckimm designed this Malvern house as a contemporary family home that is strong and durable while welcoming gatherings and family life. Sight lines and symmetry are carefully choreographed throughout.
Concrete, stone and timber are softened by leather and by daylight from feature skylights. Frameless glazing replaces traditional thresholds, opening the house to courtyards and the pool, and round windows frame views through the concrete walls. It was completed in 2022.
