This project is a contemporary addition to a turn-of-the-century terrace house in inner Sydney.
By reorienting the courtyard to the side ofblock, the project challenges the typical terrace configuration. It creates a north facing side garden extending the full length of the addition.
The project is a compact building with a slender footprint, where each interior space relates to a new garden room. An equivalency of interior and exterior space is created, expanding the spatial relationship beyond the building envelope.
The addition is made up of two pure forms, each addressing its own garden. The concrete volume on the ground floor opens north to the long garden court, while a cantilevered timber box floating above opens east to a roof garden.
