Zerdia is a large residential house consisting of 4 large bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms a guest room and an indoor swimming pool. Boasting two levels and balconies that cantilever out over the lush green hills, there is no way you can be disappointed with the views. Zerdia displays a combination of glass, wood and plain colours, keeping a theme based around blue and white. All interior walls are white, while doors and outdoor features are kept a dark blue to blend in with the wooden roof and decking.
With an emphasis on space, Zerdia features large & spacious bedrooms for all occupants. Half of the bottom floor is dedicated to a heated indoor swimming pool with a large surrounding tiled area leaving lots of room for various other recreational activities. The kitchen is almost part of the lounge room, only divided by the kitchen counter; this coupled with the large area and the upstairs balcony make it perfect for hosting parties.
As it is situated in an isolated area, there is no need to have solid walls to create privacy, instead Zerdia’s walls are constructed from glass allowing the occupants 360 degree view’s making the house seem bigger, and connecting the house with the environment. Aswell as providing the occupants with great views, it will also allow maximum sunlight reducing the need for artificial lights and hence reducing the house’s carbon footprint.
Inspired by the Zen Architect’s design of the East Brighton Green House in Melbourne, Zerdia has mimicked the key features of the house and exaggerated them. The most fundamental being the twisted shape of the Green House’s roof which peels upwards at the verandah. This interesting shape formed the building blocks of Zerdia. By redeveloping the concept of a twisted roof, the entire shape of Zerdia was developed which can be seen by the peeling away of the roof and the entire twist placed on the building.
Using new ways to convey information Quicktime VR allows a 360 degree viewing of main areas of the house: the pool area, upstairs lounge room and both balconies.
