Ivanhoe Residence, Melbourne
Viridian double glazed units are instrumental in the re-birth of this
Baby Boomer subdivision in Ivanhoe, Melbourne. Dynamic geometry
and sculptural form-making also showcase the builder/client skills.
This architecture speaks of exterior vigour and interior calm with flexible,
interfluent spaces. Glenn Murcutt’s praise for architecture of ‘privacy and
prospect’ is reflected in a design on public view and private retreat.
Architect Daniel Xuereb’s marriage of hard with soft, heavy with light,
mass with void produce a specific, highly responsive, relationship to place.
