Crayon House

On a quiet one-way street in Goodwood, a children’s drawing of a house has come to life. Driven by the client’s passion for sustainability, there had to be communal and private spaces that will grow with the family and a low maintenance garden for herbs and
veggies.

The house features two contrasting, yet complimentary house forms. A warm grey metal shape that sits close to a timber form, and a glass entry between blurs the lines between inside and outside. All together the house contains cooking, eating and socialising spaces, bedrooms and a utilities block that slides into a study.

While multiple outdoor decks play host to relaxing, swinging, bike riding, BBQs and beer making experiments. Hopps Residence has an energy-conscious soul, and although it is responsible it has a ‘life is meant to be fun’ attitude, expressed by a playfulness between light and colour depending on the change of seasons.
