Why build your house as a box when you could be living in a cloud? McBride Charles Ryan is the architectural practice behind this cloud-shaped addition to an Edwardian residence in Australia.
It is quite beautiful and very different from the ordinary front of the property that is just a bungalow.
The architects commmented, “The form of the ‘cloud’ conforms to setback regulations without appearing obviously determined by them. The extrusion creates a dramatic interior language where walls merge seamlessly with the floor and ceiling. The craftsmanship is remarkable throughout; it has a sense of care one typically associates with the work of a cooper or wheelwright. While the geometry is playful, the extrusion is essentially a contemporary barrel vault.”
