Transformation of a basic brick house into a character-filled family home in Erskineville, featuring sympathetic design elements that harmonize with the heritage streetscape and adjacent Victorian terraces.
Residential Exterior Design and Architecture - Erskineville - 180m2 with a 30m2 rear lane garage and studio.
Originally a basic brick one-story freestanding house, the client wanted to transform the small unremarkable structure into a character-filled large family home. Set in a heritage area of Victorian terraces, it was important the residential exterior design considered the streetscape and responded sympathetically to the neighbouring terraces. Situated adjacent to St Mary’s Catholic Church, the property's corner block location allowed the design to make a statement.
The design reflects the scale and form of the adjoining terraces, painted brickwork, sheet metal roofing with expressed parapets and natural timber cladding were selected to keep the residential exterior design sympathetic to the conservation area and in line with current property facades. Glazed brickwork was used on the wall and side lane boundary for its architectural interest and anti-graffiti properties.
