An Architect’s Own Multiple-Award-Winning Home | Celilo Springs House

Discover a Unique Architectural Marvel - A House Designed to Embrace Nature!

In this captivating interview, award-winning architect Andrew Boyne from Western Architecture Studio unveils the extraordinary core idea behind their own family home, the astounding project that clinched not just one, but two prestigious awards: The Marshall Clifton Award For Residential Architecture (New) and the Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture.

Celilo Springs House is ingeniously conceptualised as a living connection to the surrounding environment, embodying the spirit of harmonious coexistence with nature.

The house is masterfully crafted as a contemporary tent-like structure, inviting residents to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors.

Its design revolves around three key elements, each contributing to a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living.

The first element is a spacious floor plane, acting as a grand veranda where one can experience the joys of living amidst a picturesque garden. The second element comprises a series of concrete pipes that elegantly weave through the house and the garden, blurring the boundaries between the two.

Crowning this architectural wonder is a lightweight, tent-like roof structure. Exuding an informal charm, it imparts a sense of fleeting impermanence, emphasizing the essence of living in harmony with the ever-changing natural world.

This YouTube video offers an inspiring glimpse into the vision behind this exceptional project, where the boundaries between the house and the garden dissolve, giving rise to a truly enchanting living experience. Join us to witness the magic of architecture and nature uniting in perfect harmony!
