The project
Elaine Richardson Architect designed this family home in Alexandria, Sydney, on a corner site backing onto a pocket park shaded by a large Jacaranda tree. The brief was simple: a light-filled, clean and open oasis for a family.
A dark metal and timber-clad upper level sits above a white rendered base, and full-height sliding glass opens the living spaces to a courtyard garden. Inside, terrazzo floors, a marble kitchen island and a timber-lined stair keep the palette calm and bright.
