Lacuna House / Bijl Architecture
The Lacuna House embraces a typical suburban brief ? to create a haven away from a busy work-life and a safe home in which to raise children and live life. In doing so, the design realizes these common aspirations with a subtle overlaying of functional and aesthetic requirements to create new spaces, flows, and internal views while combatting the negative aspects of the site?s context. By focusing on the lacuna of the site ? the unfilled spaces or gaps ? the design reconciles built form with the landscape, and places a new pool as the connecting element that brings the site together. Located on Sydney?s leafy north shore, poor local planning decisions had overtime allowed two neighboring properties to compromise the setting for the inter-war dwelling.
