Split House by FMD Architects: two identities for a single home

Split House is divided in two by a sharp line. On one side lies the past, on the other the present. On one side, the street-facing façade: elegant, dated by the typical shade of Manor Red and a protected element of the area’s cultural heritage. On the other, soberly hidden in the back garden, is the work of Australian firm FMD Architects. A spark of contemporaneity, commissioned with the aim of expanding and reorganising the available space, creating the perfect space for the big events of a growing family, but also for work and moments of creativity.

Charles House by Austin Maynard Architects

Design thinking is what the clients asked of Austin Maynard Architects when they commissioned their home. A house that would provide all their needs for the next twenty-five years, new generations included. ### 1:12684:2:1:130342:para Austin Maynard Architects, an Australian studio, has designed Charles House. A design house in the purest sense of the word. It is a project designed with a time span of twenty-five years, able to provide everything necessary for family members of all ages. Charles House is a family home that is able to adapt to children and grandparents when they are too old to be alone. It is a multi-generational house, whose design required a great deal of skill. The flexibility of the spaces is at the basis of the design, and this is why all the rooms in Charles House can be opened or closed off according to the age of the inhabitants, their functions and the different needs of space. Austin Maynard Architects has also introduced sustainable energy, which will allow a great deal of energy saving over time.
