merewether gully house

Under Construction

2020 - 2023

This new family home is located in a leafy hollow of the beachside suburb of Merewether. From the street, the modest single story elevation maintains and enhances the streetscape. To the rear, a generous two story volume opens to frame an existing mature brush box. The L shaped plan oriented to capture northern light opens to a sunken garden and swimming pool , fostering a strong relationship between the indoors and outdoors. This four bedroom home is designed to accommodate a family that have doubled in number during the construction process. The pallet of expressed natural materials, large openings and operable panel sun shading offer comfort and privacy to the occupants in a setting where topography creates irregular relationships to neighbours.
