This is wonderful vernacular house architectural building styles. Vernacular architecture is a term used to categorise methods of construction which use locally available resources and traditions to address local needs. These modern Vernacular House Architectural design called ‘Gold Street House’ was designed by Kavellaris Urban Design. The materiality of the house incorporates and engages with the architectural language surrounding the contextual vernacular of black metal wall and roof cladding, painted compressed sheeting and timber panelling. By critically arranging these materials and their application, the house proudly and boldly addresses the street in its bright red and purple colours.
The plan inverts the traditional terrace program with the active living zones on the first floor opening onto a north facing balcony and incorporates passive sustainable design such as northern oriented glass bi-fold doors and louvers for cross ventilation as the primary means of cooling, solar hot water and 5-star rated sanitary fixtures.
