Exploring A Concrete Dream House That Is Perfectly Responsive to A Subtropical Climate (House Tour)

- Fulfilling the client’s desire to build their concrete dream house, Shaun Lockyer Architects considers the tactile and environmental benefits of building with concrete. Located in an inner-city suburb of Brisbane, Dilkera embodies responsive design in how it reacts to both its climate as well as its location.
Dilkera’s striking concrete façade and distinctive form are largely informed by the subtropical climate. The residence is a direct expression of how a home’s design can manage a rapidly changing mix of rain, heat and humidity - typical conditions of Brisbane and south-east Queensland where the home resides. So that the inhabitants are not constantly moving between the inside and the outside to avoid the weather, there are deep thresholds, lovely wide eaves and protected edges so there's a constant sense of being able to live throughout the entire concrete dream house, despite the season.
Shaun Lockyer Architects also explores what elements make up a concrete dream house. The home offers vestiges to surrounding scenery, including views of bushland on the eastern side, an expansive river looking across to New Farm Park and The Powerhouse on the western side, and views of the city to the southwest.
Through a bold approach to materiality, Shaun Lockyer Architects designs a robust yet welcoming home. The structure’s materiality is kept minimal and, while concrete dominates, it is complemented by a beautiful stone that forms the base of the house along with black and blond timbers throughout. Concrete floor finishes from the inside to outside are consistent, creating a seamlessness between indoor and outdoor spaces as the concrete transitions to oak cabinetry and extends through to the furniture.
An incremental revealing of what lies beyond this concrete dream house expresses a deliberate modernist theme. As soon as one enters the home there is an opening of space, with a double-height room that becomes the centre of gravity in both the form and architecture of the house. Walking around the home, views through to the landscape and garden reveal themselves, which nurtures a connection to the outside and a sense of the residence’s transparency.
Dilkera expresses the tangible reality of what was once a mere vision of a concrete dream house. To achieve this, Shaun Lockyer Architects prioritised the relationship with the client and in turn created a home that is distinctly different, resulting in a deliberate attempt for the home to engage with the landscape rather than be a dialogue about the building in itself.

They understand not only their continent, but also each bioregion. Most are raised with an inherent relationship to the landscape, thus when siting a build , their first objective is to create into the existing elements.
Is it just me or is Australian architecture just in a league of its own?
True.
In a league of its own.
Most houses in australia are not like this.Most are extremely rubbish
They know what’s up with the concrete
This isn't "Australian architecture", it's just modern architecture that happens to be in Australia
This is just an extraordinary house. The thought that has gone into not only how it looks, but also the lived experience is breathtaking
Beautiful home. The easy transitions from inside to outside are seamless. Great strength and calmness.
Great! Views, left, right and centre. Modern touch without screaming modern. I love this one!
Brilliant. Love these guys. Sounds so South African(!)
This is amazing. I think one of a few modern house I actually like and wouldn’t feel depress to live in.
I love this! It's a superb manifestation of modern architectural trends with concrete and dark finishes and blonde wood. I think that art pieces are just these perfect splashes of color for that palette. The house showcases "natural" materials like stone, concrete, timber but at the same time is inviting and intimate. And it frames perfectly all the great views the house gets. They are lucky to be right across from city center over the water and landscaping around the house is about perfect.
Perfect in every way
Amazing. As a Brissy local I'm sure I've seen this place whilst hanging out in New Farm Park.
Wonderful form. The landscaping is stunning.
I love this modern home! The space, the design, the greens, everything was sophisticated! Thank you Local Project 😎💖
Great integration of out and in and the difference in textures of the various surfaces is interesting. Like the grass trees. Thanks for posting!

très très sympa cette maison, raffinée, ouverte et sécure, moderne et en phase avec la végétation, une touche très artistique dans le graphisme des plantes donne totalement vie au béton qui devient fonctionnel et esthétique aussi. inclusion de l'eau en miroir, magnifique
✨👍Master 🏆 Piece!👍✨
Espetáculo de imóvel 🙌🏼🎇👏🏼👏🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Very good 🥰👍🏽💖✨🌟👌🆗😍
Thank you for pronouncing "project" like a normal person. Love from South Africa
Love the videos! Sometimes the S sound can be very high and uncomfortable, would suggest using a pop filter to reduce it
Tons of amazing homes here, this channel has definitely inspired me! Hopefully, one day, I too will have a home built to my personality. First, I need to get my business started, while tough trying to do that, pushing through. Maybe even my GoFundMe will help get there.
Wow, this is my favorit local project.
Wow, thanks!
Beautiful. Can anyone tell me what the hanging pothos like vine plant is? Thank you.
wow
It’s what I expect heaven to be like.
Wish this one was up on their website.
It is now 🙋🏻♂️
@@modman1907 good lookin' out, my friend. Thank you.
👍👍👍
A fine looking property. 1:09 Not sure about the neighbour with a partially concreted river view.
👍❤️👍
Hello, I would like to inquire about the equipment used for shooting videos. I really like your visuals and colors! I used translation software, and some descriptions are not appropriate. Please forgive me~😀😀😊😊
Beautiful house. How will this not get flooded? Doesn’t Brisbane flood every few years? Insurance would be insane.
They'd use historical flood records from the area and build above the floodplain Hopefully
Very much a dry block, metres above any past flood level 🙏🏽
what is song you used?
The mosquitoes will love it there

Just wondering TLP, why a house that took 7 whole years to build do we only get a 5-minute video?
🦟🦟🦟
when are you going to showcase houses in north America?
When they start building houses that aren't made of paper
I think they wont ever. Because that is a channel only about houses in austria.
@@JTMGJTMG Ahem .... you might want to check your geography!
@@JTMGJTMG "That's a lovely accent you have. ...New Jersey?"
What a beautiful and well designed house that connected the exterior with the interior so majestically, but the 2nd floor exterior is just an eye soar or a deception in regards to all of the majestic art work done on the ground floor. It's like having the best shit on and putting a terrible tie to go along with it
Once again on This channel - bland interiors +++ (except for some art). Whites, greys, blonde timber etc
nice home!
OMG that twattery of the upper middle class like Architects - it's basically a semi industrial concrete structure with a mismatch of internal furnishings lol
