Mexican Brutalism in Melbourne

Taking inspiration from their client’s Mexican heritage, Splinter Society’s design for Casa Victoria is an exploration of design ideas that sit well within the ideals of traditional Mexican architecture. It also sits well within the aesthetics of contemporary Mexican architecture, where materiality, brutalist form and natural light are paramount.

Poetically named the ‘House of Wind’, this terrace house by Chalk Architects embraces light and nature within the living spaces.
