The Design

About Memoir of Childhood Reminiscence Tirahang Bahay

Ang Memoir of Childhood Reminiscence ay isang tirahang bahay na matatagpuan sa isang lote sa kanto ng Kogarah, Sydney, Australia. Ang bahay na may dalawang palapag ay may basement na may paradahan at imbakan, isang bukas na plano sa unang palapag, apat na silid-tulugan sa ikalawang palapag, at mga terrace sa bubong na may hardin. Ang isang kurbadong panlabas na pader ay sumusunod sa hugis ng nakalatag na sulok at binalutan ng terracotta. Ang mga eskultural na panel ng terracotta ay gumugunita sa mga alaala ng pagkabata ng may-ari tungkol sa pangingisda, paglipad ng saranggola, at katutubong musika. Ang mga bintana at balkonahe ay istratehikong inilagay upang masilayan ang tanawin ng lungsod, sikat ng araw, at natural na bentilasyon.
