(About The Project)
Designed by FIGR Architecture, this Award-Winning home celebrates timber in various forms. Central to the plan is a multi-functional cross that organises the layout along north-south and east-west axes, differentiated by the Danpalon roof system and alternate floorings underfoot. The material palette is dominated by timber, extensively used to clad both the external walls and interior surfaces.
A series of operable sliding doors extend the living areas onto a triangular northern deck, allowing for true indoor-outdoor living. When opened, these doors blur the boundaries between the interior and exterior spaces, enhancing the sense of connectedness to the site. By positioning the main floor at the highest point of the site, the design captures sweeping views of the Mount Martha foreshore, while also accommodating an 18-metre lap pool beneath the house, extending along the north-south axis to the rear yard.

"We had the pleasure of working with Andrew and his team from Vivid Construction Company on the Kross House in Martha, a project that was both complex and highly detailed."
"Throughout the process, we were continually impressed by Vivid’s exceptional craftsmanship, unwavering attention to detail, and their understanding of the architectural design intent. Andrew’s ability to manage the project with precision while fostering clear and effective communication with all parties involved was truly remarkable.
The execution of the more intricate details, particularly the timber work, was nothing short of outstanding.
Andrew and his team at Vivid Construction excel in interpreting the design intent and bringing the vision to life with the utmost skill.
Vivid Construction approach their work with genuine passion and dedication, ensuring a strong collaboration between architects and clients to achieve common goals. Beyond his technical expertise, Andrew's natural leadership, meticulous approach, and efficiency in problem-solving truly stand out.
It would be a pleasure to work with Andrew and his team again and it is without hesitation I would highly recommend their services"
