A celebration of the Arts and Crafts movement, Armadale Residence honours the original home of architect Walter Richmond Butler while turning its outlook towards the garden. Light is the conduit. A controlled, white-based palette holds the client's collection of art, objects and furniture, set against monolithic stone and black steel-framed openings. The result is a family home that opens outward without losing its quiet sense of containment, settling easily into its leafy, much-treasured suburban context.
