Par 3 House

A home for some special clients in West Busselton, Western Australia.

Par 3 House has been sensitively configured to respond to a stringent style guide on a suburban block, exemplifying an alternative to a volume built housing solution, particularly for regional cities like Busselton.

Entry to this home is between two rammed earth pavilions that are linked by a glazed vestibule. Where the surrounding “girthy” homes typically position home cinemas deep within the floor plate, this home has a central courtyard which offers amenity to a living pavilion at the rear of the site.

A small balcony to a bedroom facing the street has been conceived as an informal place to have a morning coffee or an early evening drink, with the intent of fostering neighbourhood engagement.
