For a seaside house in Victoria, Australia, architect Anthony Gionfriddo has generously situated an ensemble of three rectangular forms across a fairly restricted and mundane box-shaped site.
The project’s interest derives in part from the juxtsposition of his simple yet intricately positioned pieces and the landscape, and in part from his use of materials, including textured stone, wood and concrete.
The latter elicits a powerful response vis-a-vis the setting – the sloping site and the strong sunlight – and helps convey a general character of leisure and tranquility.
