Winner of 2023 Mosman Design Awards, and commended in the AIA NSW Architecture and Houses Awards, House for BEES was conceived as a garden room, directly grounding and orienting the occupants toward their garden. Driven by shared values of connectedness, site-specificity, place making and passive design, spaces are lightly contained by a floating roof, folded to capture northern light and facilitate the capture of easterly breezes. Structural simplicity and legibility dissolves the southern and eastern edge, with banks of sliding doors fully retracting to enable a seamless connection with the garden.
