Designer's statement

From a derelict house to a modern residence, Isabella Street, Queens Park has been transformed. The modern architectural design visually juxtaposes the adjacent heritage items, whilst referencing both their forms and materials to ensure integration into the streetscape.

The simple proportions and neutral colours used provide a timeless quality to the design. The double height void inside the residence is central to the design and a welcome innovation to such a contained site. Sustainability features within the home with the inclusion of a rainwater reuse tank, high star rated tapware + fixtures, LED and low energy lighting, natural materials and integrated sun shading.
