A Modernist Super House That Explores Connection of Architecture, Interior and Garden (House Tour)



Devising a modernist super house requires a deep understanding of the interplay between architecture, interior design and the natural garden and landscape. Championing a heightened sense of experience, Witta Circle engages with the internal and external spaces – privacy screens, purposeful zoning and considered materiality articulates a levelled layering, accentuated throughout the house tour. Located in Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast, Witta Circle is a home that endeavours to claim the coveted title of modernist super house. Shaun Lockyer Architects has executed a robust yet warm home, with a strong sense of space, place and immersion.

By challenging traditional notions of how architecture converses with interior design and externally with landscape, Witta Circle embraces open planned living, dedicated to public gathering spaces. Moving through seamless thresholds, the home occupies both inside and outside areas. Showcased throughout the house tour is the swimming pool, garden and wine cellar. Through deliberate use and placement of skylights, windows and courtyards, light is filtered throughout the interior design. This includes the creative solution to bringing light down into the basement, where natural light is filtered through water and glass panels within the outdoor pool of the modernist super house.

Upon arrival, there is a strong connection between the built and natural environments. The façade of the super house is a literal layer atop the architectural dialogue of the home. The house tour identifies the external screen as another consideration for privacy, sun protection and experience. It also takes approximately 50% of the heat off the façade, creating an exchange between the natural environment and the architecture, which tempers the internal experience of the modernist super house.

The materiality of the house is an ode to the natural landscape. The charred timber references texture and natural forces, whilst the concrete speaks to a bolder interpretation of form. The plants soften the harder aspects of the built structure, with green cascading over the walls and submerging the home within the environment.

    Modern luxurious and elegant. People should stop looking at mansions in LA or Florida that smell like new money.

    I understand the visual appeal of natural concrete. But for residential projects it makes future modifications very expensive. Homes need to be able to take on new uses and emerging needs over time. Pricy to add a new window or move an interior wall if the kids are no longer living a home….

    How many times do I have to make this statement – WE CANNOT SEE YOUR HOUSES, 3 second shots give nothing of the permanence of a house. I have now shut out your channel. It's worse than sh*t

    WOW! This home is beyond well thought out. The pool and the lighting really went well beyond what one would call great.

    I am writing what is in my heart, I am now very sad, tired and hopeless and I no longer have a desire to live, I hated everything I love. I'm so tired that I can't talk to anyone. I don't know what it all happened to me. I feel that my heart will explode from sadness what I do I do I do not know prayer and prayer did not solve my problem I suffer daily every day in my life is worse than the other I thought of suicide but I could not do it I do not know how to escape from the reality of sleep was helping me to get rid of problems but after a while also became life. I don't know who to blame, is it the country or my family or me I feel myself as the most sly person in the world I have a lot of words in my heart but I can not talk about it and what is hidden is greater if I kept writing a whole day that is not enough.

    Thank you for reading my letter.
    All this and I'm still alive.

    The use of the screens presents a beautiful silhouette while providing the home owner with an additional layer of privacy. The use of plants and gardens around the home is beautiful in co trast with the concrete. And diffused lighting is quite inventive. Very lovely home.
