Moon House is full of playfulness and optimism yet grounded by a sense of seriousness and ambition. Its airy, voluminous curves reflect our clients’ vibrant personalities, while a refined palette and meticulous craftsmanship provide a calm, textural backdrop—brought to life by the ever-shifting play of light.
The façade acts as a dynamic interface between neighbouring architectural styles. Three curved, stepped forms offer a contemporary take on Federation gables, while the boxy brick volumes from which they emerge frame the house in neoclassical proportions.
Facade elevation from street
Overhead, a series of interspersed volumes and voids channel light into the ground floor. Above the living area, the ceiling balloons into two soaring curves—vaults that feel monumental and grounded on the rear façade, embedded into the brick mass, in contrast to their light and whimsical treatment at the front, where they project from the structure.
