Displaying a deceptive front facade, the River House is actually a splendidly large residence located in Sydney, Australia. Constructed under the creative eye of MCK Architects, the modern house overlooking Lane Cove River to the North got its name from the proximity to the water. Resting on a steep, odd-shaped terrain, the contemporary structure emerges as a dream home in perfect harmony with its surrounding landscape.
Supported by sandstone basement walls that add an imposing feeling, the residence provides both social and public spaces clearly open to the landscape below. The spaces were carefully designed to capture views from every corner and to proudly display a fascinating suite of modern spaces. Compartmentalized into zones, the entire residential structure was designed to offer a spectacular experience moving from one end to the other, from inside to the exterior spaces. Greatly influenced by its location near the river, the architectural details allow the inhabitants to enjoy a modern lifestyle in the company of a beautiful landscape.
