Draped House
Presented by
Jennifer McMaster, Director, Trias
Laura Metcalfe, Client
Jonathan Larach, Client
Jennifer McMaster, director of Trias, and her clients Laura and Jono will share their experiences of designing Draped House, a cleverly planned home with a billowing roof. Inspired by the efficiency and economy of mid-century design, Draped House prioritises outlook and amenity over area.
Shed House
Presented by
Toby Breakspear, Director, Breakspear Architects
Elizabeth Procter, Client
Stephen Procter, Client
Toby Breakspear, director of Breakspear Architects, and his clients Stephen and Elizabeth will delve into the design of Shed House, a new home that explores the congruence of work and domestic life. The design employs a courtyard model and an unprogrammed ground floor to address often-conflicting demands for privacy, flexibility and outlook on a typical suburban block.
