The Prahran House explores a new typology for open and connected living.

The project utilizes the typography of the site as a design tool, resulting in terraced floor plates and shifting ceiling profiles that create a range of volumes. The changing volumes and spatial qualities are manipulated to suit the programming of space. Large doors retract into wall cavities allowing the spaces to extend and transform into a continuous living environment.
