Hakea House
Brisbane Qld : Residential : 2020
Architect: Bligh Graham
Structural Engineer: Paterdis
A small but ambitious Architectural addition to a family home.
The Challenge
A narrow ‘floating’ folded roof with high level glazing around the full perimeter with no obvious vertical and lateral support. A mesh screen surrounds the structure that serves as a vine trellis and forms the fall protection to the addition.
The outcome
Narrow wall elements that provide the lateral stiffness are carefully coordinated with the perimeter joinery to give the roof and ceiling the perception of being unsupported.
