PROJECT 04 | WALSH STREET HOUSE EXTENSION

I completed this for my second mid semester assignment during my final year of my Bachelor of Architecture. The brief was to add an extension onto the existing Walsh Street House by the Australian Architect Robin Boyd.


The Walsh Street House is located in South Yarra, Victoria Australia, Designed by Robin Boyd. Known for its iconic sloped roof design and its concept of space separation, splitting private bedrooms and children’s spaces with public areas such as the kitchen and lounge through a green open courtyard. I proposed to create an enclosed greenhouse which connects each wing of the home through a private greenspace leaving the large open courtyard accessible for gatherings.


This assignment was initially created in a team of 4 members, including myself. The group work consisted of modelling the building in Revit using a Local Drive as a central model for the group to access. After the initial modelling has been completed, we detached individual versions and hosted them on Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) for remote access to complete the remainder of the project.
