Fibreglass screens and lush vegetation provide privacy and an "otherworldly" atmosphere at Clifton House, a home in Sydney by Australian studio Anthony Gill Architects.Named after the client and builder Bill Clifton, the red-brick family home replaces a former bungalow near a busystreetcorner in North Bondi.Anthony Gill Architects' main focus was creating privacy for the four-bedroom home, which is heavily overlooked by neighbouring buildings, while bringing plenty of light andventilation into its interior.Anthony Gill Architects has completed Clifton House in SydneyTo achieve this, a series of gardens densely planted with foliage and tall plants are interspersed throughout Clifton House.On the upper floor, the bedrooms and bathrooms open at full height with sliding doors to conservatory-style roof gardens covered by sloping fibreglass sheeting.The open triangles at each end of the sloping screens contain stainless-steel mesh to prevent falling and eliminate the need for a balustrade. A roof garden at the rear has a bath nestled among the plants.Fibreglass screens and lush vegetation provide privacy"In plan, the rooms step and stagger to create distinctgarden spaces that provide relief to the overall experience, bringinglight andventilation deep into the plan," said studio founder Anthony Gill."The interiors are interrelated with eachadjacent garden, offering privacyand different conditions to each room," he told Dezeen.Read: Adam Kane Architects banishes colour to create Grey House in AustraliaIn addition to providing privacy, Gill explains that the fibreglass screens also work to filter light through the rooms."The upper level works well with a quietness that is perhaps unexpected the client describes it as 'otherworldly'," he added.Steel mesh fills the open ends of the fibreglass screensUpstairs at Clifton House are four bedrooms and a bathroom, while the ground floor features a central entrance that splits the plan into private and public areas. The private spaces include a shower room and media space, while the communal areas are open-plan living spaces that connect with the outdoors.In the open-plan space, a kitchen and dining room look out over the garden with a swimming pool. A tall lounge area is sunken into the site with a four-step level change designed to tackle the slight slope from the backyard to the street.The interiors feature concrete flooring and walls finished in lime renderClifton House's interior walls are finished in lime render, left unpainted and sealed withwax, complemented by concrete floors.The original bungalow's roofframing was repurposed in the kitchen island and all internal doors, which have also been finished with wax.A roof garden contains a bathtubOutside, the garden greenery contrasts with the red-brick walls, chosen to reflect the context of North Bondi, where the material is commonly used.Bricks from the originalbungalow have also been used tobuild the internal skin of brickwork for much of thehouse.Other Australian houses recently featured on Dezeen include an all-grey holiday home in Victoria and a brick and timber extension to a Melbourne residence.The photography is by Rory Gardiner.The post Anthony Gill Architects screens Australian house with fibreglass and plants appeared first on Dezeen.
