Redmond Street Houses Modern Interior Design by Bojan Simic

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Australian architect Bojan Simic has designed the Redmond Street Houses in Melbourne.The site at Redmond Street is uniquely perched on top of a land crest that descends rapidly towards the Yarra River and Studley Park in Melbourne’s inner eastern suburb of Kew. The symmetrical footprint is divided into two zoned wings, one for parents and one for children. The central spine accommodating the living zones unites the two wings via frameless glass links.

The pavilion inspired houses are nestled into the tiered natural land form and characterized by large expanses of glass providing thermal insolation and balanced natural light to interior spaces along with elevated views of surrounding parkland and distant cityscape.
