Wilson House Architecture in Yarra Valley Victoria

Designed by Denton Corker Marshall, this modern concrete wilson house design is located in Yarra Valley, Victoria. Two thin rectangular plates – roof and floor – lay into a gentle rise above the vineyard stretching down to the main road. The black metal floor plate is supported by a series of parallel black pigmented concrete walls set at right angles to it. One end rests on the hillside; the other cantilevers 11 metres beyond the supporting wall. The identical roof plate floats above, separated by full-height glazing on the front and ends, and on the back by two vine green sticks laid longitudinally between the plates.

Each plate is 50 metres long and 11 metres wide. Their singularity and clarity is reinforced by deep setbacks – two metres on the front and rear, and five metres on the cantilevered projection – to the external wall. The roof plate is supported by internal steel columns.

The lower lever, defined by the black concrete walls, contains entry, car parking, wine cellar, study and guest bedrooms. The upper level – conceptually a single space – contains the master bedroom, second bedroom, living, dining and kitchen.

A floor-to-ceiling glass wall with sliding external doors extends the full length of the house, and opens onto an upper level terrace stepping down to an outdoor swimming pool.

Floors are honed mid-grey pigmented concrete, and ceilings white plasterboard. Internal spaces are defined by sycamore panelled volumes inserted into the space, and held free of the ceiling and the long glazed wall.

The Leonard Residence by Ehrlich Architects

Ehrlich Architects has designed modern concrete house design combined with glass material creating beautiful 4000 sqf modern residence located on a 45-degree-angle downward sloping canyon site in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. Embracing an entry courtyard, the structure is a composition of vast areas in glass supported by steel and concrete, tracing its lineage to the case study houses of LA.

The hillside-bound site presented the most obvious challenge as well as opportunity for design. To achieve the vision objectives, the house is spliced into multiple levels to accommodate and embrace the steep slope yet make the most of all useable space, nearly panoramic views and augment privacy from the closely adjacent homes. Each level fluidly caters to specific living, working and relaxation needs of the residents, allowing for utmost efficiency and comfort.

The entrance level is greeted by a permanently-installed corten steel and glass dining table designed by the Architect. A two-story living room is suspended over the canyon on a structured concrete slab that also serves as the finished floor. From this level, a floating tread stair ascends to the master bedroom/bath suite and a floating reading loft affords classic LA views through the 20-foot high glass walls. Access to a roof terrace above the garage fosters sunbathing and relaxation.
