The clients Dreamt of walking out onto grassed glades from any room in the house. Requirements included places for social interaction and places of quiet reflection, spaces for connecting outdoors, as well as a house that would provide a base from which to work in the bush. The crystal-clear zoning between the private sleeping areas and public social spaces was to be retained from the original design and importantly, this house needed to work as well for 2 as for 7 people (and have room to grow with additional grandchildren). We began by working with the client to narrow down the key things that the house had to do well and started to jettison what was non-essential. Through this process DREAMER was ultimately engaged to build on the work the nelsons had already started and develop a new concept for the complete house. Physical escapism through being in a different place/experience and but escapism of identity through the different actions and activities not present during day to day life. This was to be a bush retreat, but more a house to challenge the inhabitants, a house that defines a certain way of living. We asked ourselves and the client what it meant to leave the city on the weekend. Through these workshops and discussions, we heard a heard a story about escapism, about working outdoors, about a cottage or shed on a rural property. Jane in particular spoke of her desire to rejuvenate the land around the future house in Lorne and re-establish native plants. We discussed family life, being active, connecting outdoors. We observed their current lifestyle and love of art.
We spoke at length about other buildings they had visited that contributed meaningfully to their lives, particularly important was Louisiana gallery in Denmark. A number of times we walked around their home, discussed and observed the design of various elements from sliding doors, to light switches to fans. We undertook a number of meetings and design workshops at the client’s Melbourne home, hearing about the project and slowly understanding how they liked to live. This process was time consuming and difficult as the site had a bush fire management overlay and required an assessment and management plan to establish the required BAL rating and consequent defendable space.
Roger is Managing Director of NH Architecture and over the course of the next 7 years he and Jane designed a house and obtained a planning permit for the site. The site was purchased by Roger and Jane Nelson in 2010. It provides a backdrop for cherished family experiences as the inhabitants slow down, notice and engage with the simple joys of living. The project uses a minimal material palette and a simple design language drawing from local cottages, agricultural buildings and Australian vernacular. It is a retreat allowing the clients to disconnect from the world of city, noise, and work as they come together to reconnect and begin a 30-year project to rejuvenate the surrounding bushland.
