Hassell

Hassell’s practice across Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth transforms quiet residential volumes through precise geometric apertures that project sharp daylight across blank walls and luminous night envelopes that reverse solid daytime facades. This body of work serves as a detailed precedent when studying intersecting skylight cutouts or specifying directional timber board cladding across multi-angled living and loft extensions.

Interior under construction showing timber joists, a central skylight cutout, and a framed view to greenery through an unglazed opening.

Still House — Hatch + Mason

An interior construction view highlighting raw timber joists, a central skylight cutout, and carefully aligned focal windows framing landscape views.

What we like about this project
The central window opening aligns with the ceiling skylight cutout to create an intersecting cross of light within the room.

Geometry
Rectangular room under construction with exposed timber joist ceiling, a central ceiling lightwell cutout, and axial alignments framing exterior views through doorway and central window openings.
Structural guess
Timber joist ceiling with stud partition walls.
Spatial scale
Domestic single-story room scale with standard ceiling heights and human-proportioned door and window openings.
Lighting
Direct sunlight streams through the ceiling opening and central window, casting sharp geometric light wedges against the unfinished walls.
Atmosphere
Quiet, dusty light illuminating raw timber and unfinished plaster as architectural bones take shape.
Environmental context
Interior construction phase with framed exterior views of mature trees and landscaping.
Spatial experience
Movement from foreground space draws the eye directly through the central wall opening into sunlit greenery, framed by raw structural elements.
Composition rhythm
Repeating exposed ceiling joists establish a rhythmic overhead grid aligned with vertical wall openings.
