About Memoir of Childhood Reminiscence Teach Chónaithe

Is teach cónaithe é Memoir of Childhood Reminiscence atá suite ar shuíomh cúinne i Kogarah, Sydney, an Astráil. Tá íoslach leis an teach dhá stór seo ina bhfuil áit pháirceála agus stórála, urlár talún le pleanáil oscailte, ceithre sheomra leapa ar an gcéad urlár, agus ardáin dín le gairdín. Leanann balla seachtrach cuartha an cúinne fhorbheartaithe agus tá é clúdaithe le teracotta. Cuireann painéil dhealbhóireachta teracotta i gcuimhne cuimhní cinn óige an úinéara ar iascaireacht, ar eitilt eitleog agus ar cheol tíre. Tá fuinneoga agus balcúiní suite ionas go ngabhfaidh siad radhairc na cathrach, solas an lae agus aerú nádúrtha.

The proposed dwelling has been designed to take into consideration the location and form of the existing block. The dwelling has a curved external wall that is adorned with terracotta cladding on concrete wall that addresses the corner of the site and follows the splay corner. The stepped roof is the result of following sloped terrain, resulting in green and terraces in lairs.
