2025 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Openfield House
Conceived as a pyramidal form on the Crown Range terrace, this home sits in deep conversation with the vast surrounds. Square in plan, the grid of spaces dissolve into each other through sliding pocket doors, just as the façade dissolves itself by way of a system of sliding doors and screens. A large circular window punctures the corrugated roof in the upstairs bedroom, the primary source of light. The architects have executed the concept to a high level of detail throughout; the dialogue between form, structure, materiality and objects within the continuous field is both rigorous and restrained, with the landscape and weather offering dynamic changes in light and atmosphere.
