Perry House / A for Architecture

At the end of a suburban cul-de-sac in Melbourne, Australia, a solid brick façade disguises a light and bright family home beyond. With indoor and outdoor living spaces wrapping around a sun-drenched central courtyard, the pool in the centre becomes the focus of the house. With the owners’ love of entertaining, creating a flexible house that could be opened up to take advantage of opulent outdoor spaces, or closed off to create more intimate, family settings was paramount.
