The Gritted Grid House / Gets Architects

Granules of Needs - The brief required a strong connection with designated areas for togetherness and rooms for privacy in this multi-generational private retreat. The returning client desired to live in a more capacious settlement for their extended family. The Gritted Grid explores how a home can be livable for all ages and become a melting pot for the family's granules of needs. As the couple is growing with three young adult children and four elderly parents; this house accommodates two parents' bedrooms on the first floor, three children's bedrooms on the second floor, and private mass for the family lounge, master bedroom, and bathroom. Seamlessly, the unworn structure and massing somewhat connect with the current design through the renovation process. The novel internal arrangement with an extended pavilion is orchestrated around a connection between spaces. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces as the heart of the home are hardwired to those bedrooms as private areas; horizontally and vertically. Inducing respected privacy yet enclosed in warmness.
