Garden Tower House by Melbourne based practice Studio Bright is a gymnastic exercise in making a family home with all the amenities one might have on a suburban block, fit into a very tight 4.2-meter-wide site in Cremorne.
In such tight planning, every millimeter has to work hard to realise programmatic potential, every wall surface needed to contribute to supporting family life.
At every opportunity, lush greenery is introduced in small pockets of planted area that, in total, seek to offer verdant backyard surroundings where none are possible. The breezeblock-clad volumes form a trellis for climbing leafiness to eventually take over. The ambition is that Garden Tower House will, over time, become attached to and embedded in nature, offering calming respite from the pressing urban context.
