摘要

Young Australian architects traditionally draw first blood with private houses, often remarkably good ones such as this Modernist house by award-winning BKK Architects for a semi-retired couple in posh Melbourne suburb, Toorak. Expensive the area may be, but this is tall poppies home territory and only a few brave people buck the prevailing grim visual suburban tradition of red tile roofs, brick-veneer cladding, and disregard for orientation in this Mediterranean-style climate.
