Holman House, Dover Heights

Holman House, in Dover Heights, New South Wales, Australia was completed in 2004[1] to a design by architectural firm Durbach Block Architects.

The firm is located in Potts Point, Sydney, Australia, and is a small architectural practice who specialise in residential and public space designs.

There is no hallway because the horizon connects all the spaces and once in the living-dining room a massive curved masonry wall is bisected horizontally by a band of glass that frames the sea and cuts off most of the sky.

The more private spaces are revealed through a connecting secret passage which eventuates into the room with a striking blue backdrop.

The interior and exterior act as one single form; looking out of the house you are surrounded by a smooth white texture complemented by a sea of blue, looking onto the house from the exterior you are surrounded by a sea of blue complemented by a smooth white textured form.
