The Eyelid Minimalist House by Fiona Winzar Architects

Designed by Fiona Winzar Architects, This minimalist homes design ‘The Eyelid Minimalist House’ transformed by the architects into a contemporary residence from the previous typical Victorian terrace home. The eyelid house was designed for a family of five located in South Yarra Melbourne, Australia.

The starting point for this project was a typical single fronted Victorian terrace, pokey and dark. Transforming it into a generous, light-filled open plan, three-bedroom, two-bathroom house was the challenge. The three-bedroom home has a very light filled interior. to add privacy, the architects created the roof extension that is shaped to mimic an eyelid, shielding the back façade from neighbours while still allowing light to enter. while the sharp angles of the extension are very modern, the clients also wanted to incorporate more decorative elements such as stained glass in a number of areas to keep the home relaxed.

The materials used to build the new home were chosen to maximize sustainability and cost effectivness. in addition a rain water collection system was installed along with solar hot water and gas heating.
