Getting more Houzz-love

Our House 2022 project is featured again

House of Origin has a Houzz profile, which you can review here.  Everyday we are lucky enough to have our projects included in peoples "ideabooks" and occasionally specific parts of our projects are hand-picked for editorial articles on "good examples" of certain architectural features.  As these are mostly written by the American office of Houzz, it is quite an honour to identified as providing something unique that is also applicable in the US.

This time it's the wonderful, small internal courtyard at House 2022 in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

This project sits on a corner, with a rear lane, so the courtyard is bound to the North and East by the site boundary walls, while the kitchen runs along the southern boundary and opens out into the space, as shown in the plans below.  

The timber privacy screen is made from timber repurposed from the construction process and tops the courtyard walls, continuing along the side passage.  It serves to soften the wall while also creating lovely shadows at night when car headlights pass through.  A very successful and elegant solution.

House 2010 - Practical Completion

Our Client is home and we paid a visit

Work recently wrapped up at our great little mezzanine project in Surry Hills and we are all super pleased with the outcome.

Before we get the professional photographers through, we made a final inspection to check out the cool spiral stairs, the beautiful black kitchen joinery and the generous bathroom.
As you can see from our earlier post, this small inner-city mezzanine unit underwent some big changes.

We have reoriented the original horseshoe-shaped kitchen from being a tucked away in the depths of the mezzanine and opened it up into a galley formation.

The long, wide stairs have been replaced with an elegant spiral, with the black finish also being picked up in the joinery and hardware details and offset with crisp whites elsewhere.

Lastly, the bathroom was pushed through into the original robe space, which was more of a walk-in broom-closet.  A generous robe now faces the sleeping area on the mezzanine, where previously there was barely room to walk around the bed.

All in all, we are pleased we have been able to achieve so much in such a small area, through intuitive design gestures and a creative and complimentary materials palette.

Professional photos coming soon!
