Inside a Unique and Sustainable Modern House with a Japanese Inspired Courtyard (House Tour)

  • A modern house, Fitzroy Bridge House is a work of collaboration led by Matt Gibson Architecture + Design. Featuring a glass bridge - from which the project receives its name - the home emerges as a considered and personal dwelling that celebrates its older architectural elements.
    Located in the southern Fitzroy heritage precinct, Fitzroy Bridge House sits an enviable two kilometres from the Melbourne CBD. The residence occupies a long, thin site and is comprised of distinct pavilions, encapsulating both the pre-existing architecture and the work of the modern house.
    As Fitzroy Bridge House is situated in a heritage overlay, the exterior of the home could not be altered in relation to the front two rooms. Entering the home, residents move through the Victorian-style environments before reaching the rear architecture of the modern house that features a refined internal courtyard settled into the dining room interior design.
    Connecting two pavilions, the glass bridge forms the focal point of the modern house. The bold feature provides a view down to the manicured garden in the Japanese-inspired courtyard - a fine work of landscape architecture requested by the client and executed by Robyn Barlow.
    A product of collaboration, Fitzroy Bridge House is closely connected to the client. Warm, inviting and personal, the modern house expresses its own built narrative, enabling the client to retell the story of its creation for years to come.

      I thought about that too… And since Australia is a very small country they’re about I don’t know 25 million people and there’s plenty of space I presume people really cherish their homes and they hire architects more readily than the mass produced home it’s in the United States many people called “architecture” which is far from the truth

      Hey guys, Aussie here who lives in Melbourne. We have so many beautiful homes. We also have mass produced homes in housing estates. There's also terribly rundown homes and poorer areas.
      We have it all here. But yes, we do have a LOT of beautiful homes and great design.

    This might be my very favorite house of those I've seen in this series. Besides the wonderful garden court, what I like is that its minimalism isn't cold, but tranquil and inviting. The wine cellar and bar is a luxe element I could do without, but it's beautifully designed.

    This might be the only architect's video I've ever seen where they did not use the word "space". Maybe not even once? I hear it so often that it's kind of grating and feels impotent in describing anything accurately, but architects in other videos use it every few moments. Play any video and give it a try. It was refreshing to listen to someone not use it for once, and they created an absolutely gorgeous home.

The home seems quite serene. It's really beautiful. I love the continued use of Arches in the addition. The arched hallway in the traditional home is such as striking feature the use of arched windows and doorways in the renovated addition is beautiful. Beautiful home.

It is very inspiring and useful, even for a person like me who is not an architect and can't afford any of these homes, because the architects discuss, not only the space, but the philosophy behind each project, which is a great way to tackle any project, big or small. It helps to think outside of the box. Thanks!
