Tony Owen Partners was designed the Moebius House in Sydney, Australia. This house in Dover Heights has panoramic views of Sydnay Harbour. This family house faces onto views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The house explores the maximisation of light, space, ventilation and views on a tight sight. We are exploring a more environmentally sensitive form of design called ‘micro design’. Micro design utilises parametric modelling software which can respond to very small changes to design input criteria. In this case issues such as maximising ventilation, views and efficiency of structure and minimising impacts to neighbours views and overshadowing were the key design criteria.
The unique form is a response to the requirements to maintain view and solar corridors.
The house building is responding to the site with a series of movements which folded and twisted the space in order to maximise the changes of level, view opportunities and potential for connectivity to outside spaces at various ground planes.
The house has a fluidity of space which is a direct result of having a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape. Via
