Modern Architecture of Kangaroo Valley House by Alexander Michael
A client suggested we take a drive to Kangaroo Valley where they had a house. The construction materials were simply a response to practicality, and my love for hardware shops. There are primarily two parts to this building, one being the main living area, the other being the two individual bedrooms separated from the main building by a semi-covered walkway. The Living area is basically a simple rectangular space with a polished concrete floor, eighty percent enclosed by retractable glass walls, and single-span composite timber beams supporting the sub-roof ceiling. Like a house of cards, the entire pod is fabricated from structural fibrous cement sheet, only held together by exposed galvanised steel braces. Like the Pod, I’ve used the same material to sheet all of the exterior walls as well as the top of the sub-roof. Covering all of this like a giant sun-shade, is a primary roof structure of galvanised steel supported by twelve massive timber columns, four of which stand in the twenty-seven meter long reflection pond.
