This contemporary home in Melbourne, Australia belongs to an Art Gallery director whose asked for a house built on a narrow inner city allotment. Design and implementations were being worked by Nervegna Reed together with PH Architects.

The house hosts two bedrooms, an extra study which can be used occasionally as lodging for visiting artists to stay in. It also include a private subterranean gallery. The house extends over 3 levels; the entry is on the middle, ground level, where all the living spaces flow around a courtyard, which is a slice of a circle.

The dispersed placement of objects, materials and functions on this level works much like a layout of a pinball machine, each surface hinting at a multitude of possible routes that one could take through the building, sometimes encouraging a certain movement, sometimes not.

The front study with adjoining bathroom is for visiting artists. Downstairs is a basement gallery, indirectly lit by a concrete light shaft / skylight which also functions as a seat and a sculpture podium.
