Elm & Willow House
Architects: EAT
Location: Canterbury, Australia
Melbourne based Architects EAT have completed the restoration and alteration of an existing Edwardian structure, they have called ‘Elm and Willow House’, in Australia. The projects ‘inside is outside is inside’ quality resembles influence from various projects such as the Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe, and for me the exhibition wing in the Kroller- Muller museum, Amsterdam. The structure is suspended on steel columns to avoid damaging the roots of mature elm and willow trees on the site. I particularly like the fact that the non- load bearing sliding glass doors juxtaposed with the meticulously detailed skeletal structure supplies a light and airy environment that allows occupants to have an interchangeable relationship with the exterior surroundings.
