The Functional and Practical Architecture










This house has been created as the special gift for a family with three young children, leading to furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials provided. 
 
According to the architects (Fox Johnston), the objective was to create a functional, practical and user friendly home for the inhabitants, with a high degree of flexibility: 

“We endeavored to create a series of spaces in the old and new house that could be flexible over time – a playroom was designed for the children which could be converted into a study or additional bedroom at a later stage. 

A guest retreat accessed from the lane way could also be a future teenagers bedroom, or a space for a grandparent if need be”. 

Furthermore, the material s have been used in this design was carefully chosen such as brick, concrete and timber, ensuring longevity and durability over time. Inspiring timber cladding additions on the walls and ceiling bring originality and extra warmth.
