Take a appear at the Ridge Road residence designed by StudioFour and positioned on the Mornington Peninsula in Australia. "A easy brief and programming requirements, teamed with a dramatic web site characterized by a steep slope and a single tea tree, enabled the style to turn out to be an exploration into enclosing the basic rituals of domestic life within restrained constructing forms…the type of the constructing becomes driven by the customers desire to separate the public and private zones of the residence.

In stark contrast to the surrounding homes, which attempt to cancel out the sloping topography by creating a podium level at which the outdoor places sit exposed high above ground level, our design and style for this property adopts a gentler approach, with the building kind spilling down the slope to terminate in a series of terraced decks. Varying levels of interaction and connection with the landscape, each actual and perceived, drive all elements of the design and style, from the channelled views of the horizon upon entry, by way of to the double height image window that captures the full proportion of the tea tree, and the direct and intimate connection supplied by the low level decks."
