Kew House, Contemporary residential structure in Kew, Victoria, Australia.
The Kew House spans eighteen by nine meters with glass walls encased by rusted metal screens on two sides of the building.
Sean Godsell designed and constructed this residence between 1996 and 1997 as his personal family home at 8 Hodgson Street.
The architectural design merges Japanese minimalism with Australian residential style through its open floor plan and connection to the environment.
The residence features external screens that regulate sunlight exposure and facilitate natural air circulation through the building's passive ventilation system.
A seven-meter-long built-in table serves as the central gathering point, dividing the house's longitudinal axis between living and sleeping areas.
