The beauty of less.
How Simplicity and Nature Influence This Architect’s Own Modernist Home
Originally designed by Peter McIntyre, this Modernist courtyard house lacked a connection to the backyard.
After years of living in the home, Albert Mo Architects looked to bridge the gap between the interior and the garden, enhancing the relationship they have with the landscape.
Connected House builds on Peter McIntyre’s Modernist principles to create a home that balances the old and new, where the home and its landscape are seamlessly intertwined.
Is there a way to maintain privacy in living areas while at the same time provide a connection to the life of the street through the often underutilised front garden?
How can a functional layout with more connections be created without extending the footprint of a townhouse while maintaining the atmosphere?
With so much of today’s homes striving for flexible and multipurpose spaces, what if you designed a space for a single specific use, or ritual?

The original 1920s home had a real sense of grandeur; however, the interiors were disconnected, and a series of 1980s and 90s additions blocked the light.
Taylor Knights faced a familiar challenge, although never easy: bringing natural light into a narrow, long Victorian terrace on a dense site in Fitzroy.
