of South America, Canopy House sits proud and airy on high ground in a leafy site of Melbourne’s Yarra neighbourhood. The architects, Powell & Glenn, led by co-founders Ed Glenn and Allam Powell, have over the years honed their expertise in creating sophisticated, subtly impactful residences, and this concrete Melbourne home is no exception.
The site itself was another key point to consider in the design development, as Glenn explains: ’The site’s cascading topography provided an opportunity to experience the surroundings at multiple levels. At ground level, the thud of the earth is evident, with the progression through the central and upper floors leaving the user floating amongst the tree canopies.’
Spread across two levels, the home opens up through high ceilings, large windows and swathes of glass towards the green surroundings at every turn. A vertical circulation core connects everything and ’ties’ various spaces together visually too, thanks to a sculptural concrete staircase. Clean, horizontal lines, orthogonal columns and a handful of carefully placed curves make up a composition that feels at the same time sharp, timeless and dynamic, but also serene and contemporary. The roof’s concrete canopy extends out and connects seamlessly the interior with the lush, verdant exterior and the home’s outdoors areas, such as its paved terraces, pergola and swimming pool. A sprawling garden designed by Robert Boyle Landscapes wraps around the property.
’There is an incremental breaking down of elements that helps embed the house with the surroundings, while allowing the family to observe the changing conditions of the natural world,’ says Glenn of this concrete Melbourne home, engulfed in greenery. §
