Hackett Dual Occupancy
This dual Hackett occupancy in the northern suburbs of Canberra has an engaging street presence complemented by a refined interior. Combined with large picture window glazing a sophisticated mix makes up the well-balanced external material palette.
The development came about in response to a need for higher suburban density in Canberra and on a block of land resumed after an asbestos compromised house was demolished.
When on sale the real estate agents commented ‘We have had plenty of people wanting to come and check out this one purely because they love the work of the architect,” … something of a compliment.
Both dwellings are light filled, taking advantage of passive solar principles. Intimate and carefully considered inside/outside relationships afford an immediate connection to what might be considered ‘outdoor rooms’ and resulting in a very liveable outcome. The unique design is perfect for both entertainment and families.
