Barrow House – Modern Timber House Design by Andrew Maynard Architects

Barrow House is the one of Andrew Maynard Architects located in Australia, the Barrow House made of timber box arrangement which independently rotated and subjected to varying amounts of extruding and manipulating forces. Barrow house has a stunning exterior design, its unique and look exotic on the night while all lighting are turned on. Read the explanation about this house from the architect below:

The brighter, larger extension nurtures the dynamic, more numerous, day time activities, whilst the low key, more relaxed, activities of the afternoon are enjoyed in the sunroom at the western end of the site reflecting back on the outdoor yard and pool, watching the cinematic shadows play across the irregular face of the Barrow’s extension.
The extensive openable window and bifold door arrangement accompanied by Barrow’s orientation allows for abundant natural light and ventilation to infiltrate the spaces, decreasing reliance on electrical and heating/cooling systems.
The entirety of the design also employs materials reused from the parts of the previous house as well as recycled or found elements, decreasing the carbon footprint of the design and also adding character to the spaces.
