Located in the nationally recognized Historic District of Arapahoe Acres, a mid-50’s development the Gilmore House was originally built in 1954. This Mid-Century Modern home was damaged by fire that destroyed the kitchen, car port and back lines of the home. As a result, the scope of work included the main living, dining and kitchen areas as well as the carport, exterior doors and windows, bathrooms and closets.

Working with SALA architect, Joseph G. Metzler, Vujovich transformed the entire exterior as well as the primary interior spaces of this 1970s split in to an Arts and Crafts gem. -Troy Thies Photography

The client for the project has a long standing interest in building sustainability developed through working at the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA). With this interest in mind, the client approached CHROFI to design a house that would demonstrate a number of active and passive sustainable initiatives whilst accommodating a contemporary coastal lifestyle. The project is sited on the south side of Mona Vale Headland and has expansive views over Mona Vale Beach to the south. This south facing aspect and the narrow site proportions combine to limit the passive design potential and accordingly establish the key design challenge for the project. Our response orients the house toward the view to the south, but opens up the roof at the centre of the house with a large north-facing skylight to admit winter sun to the south facing living areas and to trap and hold the warmth of the winter sun using the thermal mass of the structure. Other sustainability measures include a 15,000 L rainwater storage tank combined with grey water recycling to minimise water usage, the use of evacuated tubes for in floor heating and hot water supply, and photovoltaic solar panels to provide electricity back to the grid. The house is a ‘test-bed’ for these and many other sustainability initiatives and the performance of these will be measured after occupancy. The client intends to promote his findings to further the public knowledge of contemporary sustainable architecture via a website, publications and a consultancy service.

The journey through the scheme slowly reveals different elements, replicating the journey of travelling across the sloping site. The roof lines follow the angles of the surrounding hinterland.

Wingspan’s gull wing roofs are pitched in two directions and become an outflowing of interiors, lending more or less scale to public and private space within. Beyond the dramatic aesthetics, the roof forms serve to lend the right scale to each interior space below while lifting the eye to light and views of water and sky. This concept begins at the big east porch sheltered under a 15-foot cantilevered roof; neighborhood-friendly porch and entry are adjoined by shared home offices that can monitor the front of the home. The entry acts as a glass lantern at night, greeting the visitor; the interiors then gradually expand to the rear of the home, lending views of park, lake and distant city skyline to key interior spaces such as the bedrooms, living-dining-kitchen and family game/media room.
