Cary House
By Dieppe Design
Cary House is an inner city dwelling thoughtfully updated to accommodate the lifestyle of our clients and their dog, Maxie. The existing cottage, over 100 years old, comprised of three bedrooms, one bathroom and a dated extension housing a combined kitchen and dining room.
The project brief was to create a more usable indoor / outdoor living space extending to the large poorly designed backyard. The clients hoped to incorporate a master suite and study nook. The brief evolved during architectural concepts and Cary House now boasts a guest bedroom, library and bathroom in the original cottage. The existing hallway opens to the new open plan kitchen, dining and living room.
The kitchen joinery hides the surprisingly large laundry / butlers pantry and under the bold, black staircase is the wine store. Upstairs features a large study, a master bedroom with custom joinery, a luxurious double shower bathroom and tidy attic room.
The architectural timber shutters over the windows of the master and study open using a remote, controlled at the clients desire. The timber sliding doors in the living and dining space open to the landscaped back yard joining the exterior and interior in harmony.
Cary House is an urban oasis for our clients, Maxie the dog, friends and family.

About the
Professional
Dieppe Design is a small (but mighty!) architecture firm located in Sydney.
We specialise in new builds, alterations & additions, interior renovations and Passive House Design. We work closely with our clients, listening to their design and functional brief, how our clients live their life and what visually inspires them.
The first stage of our process ends in a presentation of unique and personalised concepts, leading to design development all the way to construction and turn-key. We use the latest technology including 3D imagery, video flythroughs and virtual reality to ensure our clients can fully experience our concepts.
This enables us to make changes early in the design development aiming for a seamless construction process. We want the journey to be an enjoyable collaboration between client, architect and builder. In fact, we often miss working with our clients once the project is complete!
Dieppe Design is an A+ member of the Australian Institute of Architects practice and certified in Passivhaus Design. Our consultants, suppliers and contractors are carefully selected and we are proud to share the same ethics ensuring our clients are looked after.
As certified Passivhaus Design Architects, clients can comfortably choose to incorporate Passive House Design concepts or certification into their project. Our aim is to create exceptional architecture & interiors that does not impact the future of our planet.
We feel strongly about the environmental surrounds of each project and the impact it will have on the locale forming part of the design process. Dieppe Design has detailed experience of projects located in bush fire prone areas and any constraints or limitations of the land are thoroughly considered.
To date, Dieppe Design has been inspired how each client lives and connects in their spaces. We learn and evolve from every project looking forward to what our future clients may show us on the next journey.
