If the previous example uses a cantilever to minimize its footprint on a difficult site, this house in Australia by Ian Moore takes a similar approach, if not very apparent at first. This view of the entry walkway shows a rectangular bar cantilevering on both ends; a symmetrical composition lifting the house above the land sloping away from it.
This linear house is perched upon a hilltop, apparently cantilevering itself from this wide walkway.
As in the previous photo, this house opens itself up visually to reveal the vista as one walks along the bridge. The lack of railings makes the approach quite abstract, as if the surface is simultaneously an extension of the street and the house's floor.
This linear building appears quite wide from this entry approach, but the shallow depth of the plan is apparent in the transparency of the room beyond the bridge. The way the house cantilevers at both ends accentuates the length of the house, making it appear to balance on this entry plane that slides under the house. See inside, next.
