The New Twin Peaks is a new house that has design elements that make it different from the original gabled Twin Peaks house. Its double gables are the contemporary version of the original gabled house. Located in Rose Bay, this project is completed by Luigi Rosselli Architects with a modern language.
Design
The substantial addition, an existing single roof ridge, and built on the bones of a solid 1970s Rose Bay home are design elements that make this new home different from the original gabled house, Queen Anne.
A modern language of sharp edges, oversized windows, robust cantilevered canopies, and abstract forms can be seen in this house.
Rooms
The bedrooms of the children are under the first, larger, zinc-clad gable while the cathedral ceiling of the master bedroom can be found on the second steeper gable.
The master bedroom’s double-height ceiling is matched by the entrance lobby’s soaring ceiling height and in the kitchen and dining rooms’ giraffe-sized spaces particularly.
A vertical architecture is created intentionally so it matches the pre-existing Pencil Pines in the garden.
Details
A central cascading stair is the home’s main spine, descending from the bedrooms to the mezzanine entry landing, from the entry to the middle level, and down to the large dining, living, and kitchen spaces. The study and rumpus rooms can be found on the middle level of the home.
The gentle descent with this central stair culminates in four-meter-tall sliding doors and slides away into the wall cavity, creating a smooth flow into the garden. The sliding doors lead one to the pool and deck area.
