Balancing a range of challenging planning, heritage and site restrictions, the Naremburn House manipulates its site through shifting volumes and geometries, playing with light, materials and form to create a house underpinned by an ‘intentional irregularity’. A formal re-interpretation of traditional roof forms, such as the Dutch gable and catslide roof, allows a compact streetscape frontage that matches the scale of surrounding properties, while volumetric opportunities offered by the roof form are exploited to provide a useful and capacious floor plan.
