Hood House is a playful protector that respects the heritage character of Carlton North whilst celebrating purposeful change. It is a luxurious yet compact and hyper-functional home defined by an exploration of contrast: it is ornamental and restrained, subdued and lively, stately and casual, compartmental and open. For us, it is also a project with an unusual history. This dual-natured renovation evolved through the ownership of two separate clients. Originally intended to accommodate the needs of a young family of four, we shifted gears at the eleventh hour and adapted a thoroughly resolved design solution to the needs of only two. From a young, nuclear family to a blended adult one, our design solution was put to a test of flexibility. The result is a subtle renovation almost invisible from the street yet dramatic in its expressive qualities. An oblique view from the northwest reveals the playful zigzag of the new roof, the rippling metal hood. This is a form-making exercise that connects old to new as well as establishing spatial drama in what might otherwise have been utilitarian rooms upstairs. A simple palette of Australian hardwood timbers and white surfaces are complimented by tactile splashes of brass and rich moments of colour that reveal themselves from behind closed doors. Our internal joke is that Hood House is like Lazarus, risen from the ashes. We’re grateful that almost six years of hard work have culminated in this beautiful, protective and playful house, and so pleased that Glenda and Alistair get to call it home.

Lots of texture and variety of materials give this black, white and gray toned master bath a truly luxurious feel.

Doccia e vasca del bagno principale, in linea, sono in comunicazione diretta con il vano sanitari del bagno, da una parte, e con la camera da letto matrimoniale, dall'altra (porta a vetri frontale). A sinistra: affaccio sul giardino centrale della casa, con serramento apribile schermato alla vista da veneziana interna. Il rivestimento dei muri è realizzato con l'intonaco impermeabile tadelakt, artigianale e realizzato con l'autentica e introvabile pietra di Marrakech (fornita dall'artigiano Nino Longhitano) e messo in opera grazie al meraviglioso insegnamento dell'artigiano Danilo Dianti: durante un evento denominato 'Casa-Cantiere', l'Associazione Autocostruzione per la Rete Solare e l'architetto e collega Daniela Re hanno organizzato nel loft in costruzione l'evento didattico e sperimentale con il quale si è avviata la realizzazione in sito del tadelakt, poi proseguito e portato a termine con profitto dai proprietari: le tonalità moribide e naturali dei colori, ottenute dall'addizione di ossidi alla pietra frantumata, conferiscono alle due stanze da bagno un calore avvolgente irraggiungibile con ogni altro tipo di materiale. Con questa tecnica 'naturale' (l'impermeabilità originaria della lavorazione è aumentata da uno strato finale di cera d'api) e unica, si sono realizzate anche nicchie, top e mensole, ottenendo una superficie continua e priva di spigoli vivi che ricorda molto un bagno turco.
