LONG HOUSE, BAYVIEW TERRACE

Long House is defined by its linear form, using length and proportion to organise space, light, and movement across the site.

Set within a suburban context, the home adopts an elongated plan that maximises northern light and creates a strong connection between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. Rather than relying on scale, the design uses sequence and alignment to shape the experience of the home.

The architecture is structured as a series of connected zones, allowing spaces to flow naturally from one to the next while maintaining a clear sense of order. This linear arrangement supports both openness and separation, with private areas positioned away from the primary living spine.

A key driver of the project is light. Openings are carefully positioned along the length of the home to capture changing daylight conditions throughout the day, while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties. This creates a dynamic internal environment that shifts subtly over time.

Materiality is restrained and consistent, reinforcing the clarity of the architectural form. A simple palette allows proportion and detail to take precedence, ensuring the home feels calm, cohesive, and resolved.

Long House demonstrates a disciplined approach to residential design, where form and planning work together to create a home that is both functional and spatially considered.
