Malcolm Residence
Set within the picturesque suburb of Millwood, Adelaide, Malcolm Residence is a conscious amalgamation of traditional architectural proportions with contemporary design.
From the street frontage, the home is immediately striking. The façade features refined, geometric lines, complemented by a crisp, clean palette of Austral Bricks’ San Selmo Brick in Limewash and white accents across the garage, roofline, and front fence.
Throughout the home's single storey open-plan format, the quiet calm of the neutral palette remains, extending across two generous living areas. As centrepiece of the home, Malcolm Residence’s kitchen and living room are enriched by accents of timber and an expansive brick feature wall, providing a tactility and warmth that imbues the home with a sense of sophisticated ease that elevates both domestic family living and occasional entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors frame the living room, saturating the space in streams of bright, undiluted sunlight, simultaneously producing passive cooling enabled by the cross-ventilation.
“Austral Bricks’ San Selmo shines throughout this home, delivering the aesthetic, architectural, and functional integrity necessary to produce a residence of this exceptional calibre.”
Designed for the entertainer, the home’s outdoor domain, complete with patio, pool, and plentiful garden, is ripe for long evenings immersed in the spoils of Australian summer. The seamless continuation of Austral Bricks’ San Selmo from the exterior to interior of the residence embraces the home’s fluidity, inviting indoor-outdoor living and extending the sense of warmth yet refinement to the resort-like backyard. Geometrically laid brickwork affords privacy for the patio dining area from neighbouring homes while allowing filtered breeze and dappled light to permeate, preserving the ambience and comfort of open-air dining.
A collaboration between Urban Habitats SA and UH Projects, Malcolm Residence is a reflection upon the collaborators’ unconditional commitment to craftsmanship and excellence - qualities that are exemplified in the home through a selective and conscious incorporation of state-of-the-art materiality. Austral Bricks’ San Selmo shines throughout this home, delivering the aesthetic, architectural, and functional integrity necessary to produce a residence of this exceptional calibre.
The richly textured San Selmo Classico range brings with it a strong European heritage. These elegant kiln-fired clay bricks are manufactured in Italy and feature a beautiful, tactile surface inspired by recycled bricks. The result is a distinctive rustic finish that will create a genuine warmth in any project. Ideal for both modern and traditional homes.
