Elon­gat­ed, lin­ear and set with­in an irreg­u­lar shaped block, this project care­ful­ly inte­grates archi­tec­ture with land­scape and envi­ron­ment to cre­ate a home that responds to the unique qual­i­ties of its site.

Designed around a cen­tral court­yard struc­ture, the home wel­comes its con­nec­tion with out­doors. The restrained mate­r­i­al palette strength­ens this rela­tion­ship, the appli­ca­tion of con­crete, tim­ber and dark met­al con­tin­u­ing seam­less­ly through­out. But it is here that we found oppor­tu­ni­ty, not only to soft­en, but con­nect the build­ing with the sur­round­ing envi­ron­ment —the land­scape com­ple­ment­ing and embrac­ing ele­ments such as the exposed sand­stone rock­shelf, while pro­vid­ing relief to the archi­tec­tur­al backdrop.

About the
Professional

Wyer & Co. is an inte­grat­ed land­scape design prac­tice, found­ed by Antho­ny Wyer in 2005.

Based in Syd­ney, our team of archi­tects, design­ers, hor­ti­cul­tur­al­ists and con­struc­tion spe­cial­ists col­lab­o­rate with our clients to cre­ate, con­struct, and main­tain, excep­tion­al land­scapes, for excep­tion­al homes.

Mul­ti-lay­ered, beau­ti­ful, and some­times sur­pris­ing, the spaces we design draw upon our deep knowl­edge of hor­ti­cul­ture and ecolo­gies; our under­stand­ing of the Syd­ney lifestyle and cli­mate, and the unique aspi­ra­tions and per­son­al­i­ties of their residents.

Every­thing we do is found­ed in the belief that land­scapes are a pow­er­ful medi­um to con­nect peo­ple to place, to tell sto­ries through time, and ele­vate the way we live outside.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
