Melbourne based Jackson Clements Burrows (JCB) architects have designed a beautiful house in Barwon Heads called Henley Street Residence. A sculptural building form emerged from the clients brief which jokingly requested a planetarium as an inclusion. This led to the exploration of circular forms and resulted in a circular skylight in the first floor living areas as a direct reference however the house was primarily conceived to immerse itself over time as a natural extension of the Ti-tree dominated landscape. The house is wrapped in as skin of vertical cedar battens, providing privacy and solar protection which appear to emerge from the front fence intentionally confusing the relationship between built form and landscape.
