Stirling House is a new-build house replacing two very narrow 2-storey weather-board cottages on the same lot but in a very derelict state. The project was completed by Sydney-based Mac-Interactive Architects. After much discussion with Heritage it was felt that it would not be possible to restore them to anything other than museum status as they could not be brought up to current BCA standards.
Benn & Penna Architects have extended and renovated Surry Hills House, a Victorian-era terrace house located in Sydney, Australia. By the insertion of a delicate steel stairwell, new spaces unfold from light and air. Benn & Penna have created a floorplan that provides an open plan kitchen and dining area that flows out to the courtyard and BBQ beyond bi-folding glass doors.
A new house designed by architect Amelia Holliday for her family (husband David Lakes, daughter Aoife and dogs Ciara and Audrey). Located in the Paddington Conservation area it reinterprets the classic terrace house typology that characterizes much of the surrounding area.
Warehouse re-use in one of Sydney’s most recognised heritage buildings, the distinctive Edwards & Co. building. Behind the arched windows is a new residence, on the roof a large deck and private retreat. With utmost care, the new works uncover, retain and celebrate the existing fabric of the building.
