Moon House renews an existing villa through a carefully layered approach of architecture, interiors and landscape. A contemporary pavilion addition anchors the rear of the long suburban block, while thoughtful re-planning revitalises the original home inside and out. Poorly performing layouts were removed to improve function, introduce new connections and to better utilise the full length of the site.
Large-scale doors, north-facing courtyard openings and multiple skylights bring light deep into the home, reconnecting kitchen, living and dining spaces with the garden beyond. An external walkway leads to a light-filled pavilion, defined by transparent roofing and battened ceilings, and wrapped in dense planting.
The pool forms the heart of the landscape, linking internal living spaces to a series of outdoor areas including play and productive gardens. Other elements such as integrated parking and a battened front fence, balance security with a strong garden presence to the street.
The result is a home designed to support a dynamic, growing family. Flexible, connected and built to evolve over time.
