The project
WILLIAM TOZER Associates designed Tall House as a large brick box hollowed out on two sides to show its white interior. On one side, sliding glass doors with minimal black frames keep the opening reading as a void. On the other, the box rests on a long white volume that runs into the kitchen and holds cupboards and appliances, with an island separating it from the dining area.
Throughout the house, rooms and cupboards are treated as large and small sculptural volumes that loosely divide each open level. The main bedroom is separated from a dressing room by a change of level and an ensuite, whose stone-clad interior is lit by a roof light and a sandblasted glass panel over the stair. Because of the split-level plan, the ground floor extension is unusually tall. The 184 square metre project was completed in 2019.
