Ivanhoe House〔〔 is a house designed by Kirsten Thompson architects,〔 located in Ivanhoe, a verdant suburb in Melbourne, Australia. Construction of the house was completed in 2008. The house is distinguished from standard twentieth century courtyard houses by its elevated nature. This creates a courtyard which is both on the ground and in the upper level of the house, forming a gateway into the garden and the wider context of the park. “This house was heavily on local arts and crafts traditions, In particular the work of Harold Desbrowe-Annear, a key reference point because of his profound influence on the architectural legacy of Melbourne and here in Ivanhoe”. –Kerstin Thompson ==Description== The Ivanhoe House is situated in the leafy green suburb of Ivanhoe, North East of Melbourne’s city centre. Its site overlooks Chelsworth Park to the south, and has no real street frontage to the North, as the land subdivision itself is a triple battle axe. The house is of a courtyard type, but can also be described as a ‘perimeter house’. Its main point of difference from a regular courtyard house is its elevated construction, informed by the raised floodplain levels of its Ivanhoe site. The form of the house is a roughly square plan, surrounding an internal courtyard which spans 2 levels. Planned around this courtyard, a string of rooms in a loop allows inhabitants to walk all the way around the house. There are no set corridors, and flexible walls create a flexibility of space. Construction incorporates a steel framed structure on stilts that is sometimes exposed within the villa, and a taught black wooden skin, as well as louvered windows and semi-timbered openings. Materiality mostly consists of timber, from indoor to outdoor, but different wood species and stains are used to differentiate space and program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivanhoe House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
