HOUSE PADDINGTON

A small, but bespoke renovation to a terrace house in the tightly conserved heritage suburb of Paddington, NSW.  Forming Stage 1 of the works, was a remodelling of the small outdoor entertaining area, new doors and rear facade.  The design developed from the idea of 'communal gathering'.  That friends and family could gather around a focal point in the small terrace.  It was imagined as a light source that became a beacon at night, while during the day it would be a feature in shadow.  The custom made brass light fittings spring from the garden to create a focal point at the centre of the space.  These integrate with cantilevered concrete benches,  rich stone textures and a diverse garden.  Highly refined doors, materials and details create an abundance of light, texture and interest.
