The Cloud House is named after the white stainless-steel membrane that covers the upper section of the building. This membrane merges with the soft clouds encasing it and creates a prominent visual delight for the eye.
The Cloud House translates the words “form follows function” into a physical composition. The stainless-steel membrane is not only eye-catching but also functional as it serves as a sun diffuser and a heater/cooler.
The spatial composition of the House is smoothly divided into two levels. The visually light cloud shaped structure is placed upon a coarse concrete base that breaks the elevation change of the hillside.
A slight gap created between the levels creates an interesting dynamic amidst the Queensland scenery, making the Cloud House by Because Architects a fantasy abode and a great architectural design.
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry
