Description

Weaving tradition and a contemporary focus on living connectedly, Towoomba draws from the existing eclecticism of Sydney’s architectural landscape. Behind the restored and preserved streetscape frontage, an additional upper level is added, neatly concealed from the streetscape. In expanding the overall footprint of the home and inviting more light into the interior, the home feels deliberately lighter and filled with more warmth from within. Maintaining the scale and rhythm amongst the established neighbouring homes was crucial, opting instead to layer functionality and openness from a more introspective and privately veiled approach. A subtle interplay of the original heritage character and charm bring its more ornate detailing into a more contemporary relevant, capturing a more open style of living where connection underpins how each space is occupied.
