Moebius House by Tony Owen Partners

Australian architects Tony Owen Partners have completed a house overlooking Sydney harbor with one wall looping over the roof, to become a terrace.

Named Moebius, the building is structured from steel frame clad in metal panels. The structure has been assembled around a chassis, like a car would be.

Notes from Tony Owen Partners:

The house explores the maximisation of light, space, ventilation and views on a tight sight. We are exploring a more environmentally sensitive form of design called ‘micro design’...Micro design utilises parametric modelling software which can respond to very small changes to design input criteria. In this case issues such as maximising ventilation, views and efficiency of structure and minimising impacts to neighbours views and overshadowing were the key design criteria...The house has a fluidity of space which is a direct result of having a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape.
