Article source: Porebski Architects Park House sits harmoniously within the natural landscape of Harbourview Park and architectural landscape of Woollahra Heritage Conservation Area. Its materials, colours and form blend with the bushland and complement the historical houses and sandstone walls. The house sits atop a 5-metre-high sandstone wall, overlooking the park entrance. Its low, horizontal profile minimises visual impact and serves as a podium to the heritage house behind. The massed base and concrete-block buttresses anchor the house, while the lighter first-floor framework modulates the house amongst the trees.
First-floor living areas and ground-floor bedrooms face north for sunlight. Living areas have large windows, high ceilings and views, creating a treehouse-like feel, and a west-facing terrace is a lookout to the park. A face-concrete brick wall provides a natural-coloured backdrop, and the raised floor and monochromatic palette in the kitchen create an intimate space. Bedrooms offer privacy and tranquillity, looking out to the park. Contact Porebski Architects
