Domoney architecture

The Ancona Valley is characterised by rolling pasture and river flats set to a backdrop of surrounding mountain ranges. At metres above sea level, winters are cooler and summer temperatures higher than average for the state. Sheep and cattle graze this idyllic and picturesque landscape, a perfect place to retreat and rejuvenate. The romantic notion of a country escape spirited the purchase of this blank canvas property, the same promise informing the style, arrangement of structures, material compositions and integration of garden surround, within the existing rural setting. This assemblage of elements now occupies the highest point of the acre site. Here once stood an open framed hayshed, later to be enclosed and converted by previous owners, to serve as a modest weekend retreat. Retaining in part these humble fragments, a new and inter-connected series of agriculturally inspired pavilions have sprung. These are clustered about a centrally protected garden court and pool, they nestle within a newly defined garden which now covers approximately 5 acres of the property. The fragmentation of an otherwise large singular building form into purpose driven pavilions, deliberately thwarts any possibility of them overpowering their surrounds. New garden elements penetrate the spaces left between the structures, entwining the dwelling and garden as one. Buried within its walls lies the original structure of the hayshed, its overall form still legible.

Text description provided by the architects. With a property located directly opposite the sandy shoreline of a secluded beach, the primary drive in designing a new home on this site is obviously to provide the strongest possible connection from within the house to the beach and sea beyond. With the proportions of the block favouring its depth rather than its frontage, the challenge became one of best providing this connection to all of the living accommodation zones, whether to the front or rear of the house. The resulting plan form with living areas to the first floor, accommodates the necessary visual linkage to the beach from all zones, be it kitchen, dining, family space and lounge, through a faceted glass facade and protected outdoor terrace area. The roof hovers and meanders above these areas almost seemingly detached from the walls below, presenting a lantern-like presence at night. Limestone has been used extensively throughout, referencing the sand tone of the beach, with rich internal timbers providing the counterbalance and necessary warmth in an almost Balinese-like combination.

The intentionally whimsical form the roof assumes, signals the design response reinforced throughout this free flowing family home.
