The modern unique architecture home Leaf House is a pavilion for a private residence in the north of Sydney, sited in a dramatic coastal setting. Completed in 2009, the Leaf House is designed by Undercurrent Architects. Project Team: German Perez-Tavio, Didier Ryan
The Leaf House engages it surroundings and forms part of the landscape: its roof blending into the vegetation; its base shaping the terrain.
The design is characterised by oversailing roof shells that resemble fallen leaves, held loosely together by a structure of twisted steel beams that bring dynamic forces inside.
The interior is enclosed with thin veil of moulded glass that activates views and reflections. Private rooms are tucked below into a sandstone podium fused to the terrain.
