Alman House

2002

The Alman House is a house in the modernist sense, facilitating various modes of contemporary sub-tropical living. The house consists of a string of intersecting volumes structured around a fractured monolithic spine.

The arcadian blades of rammed earth were conceived as a pre-existing order, which the plan is anchored to and structurally supported by. Internally, their presence plays “counterpoint” to the transparency of the lightweight steel and glass frames and the northern views over canefields and the Whitsunday passage.
