Multi-Generation House at the Park

Rising five storeys, this corner house turns the usual stacking on its head. The living, dining and kitchen are elevated onto the second floor, above a planted terrace that screens the street and brings the canopy to eye level. A sweeping curve of glass wraps the entertaining space, framing borrowed views of a distant park so the neighbourhood’s greenery becomes part of the interior.

A double-storey void combines the living and dining areas and connects them to the master bedroom on the third storey, so light, air and conversation travel between floors. Outside, a terra-cotta paneled facade gives the house a warm, earthy presence, contrasted by dark, curved fascias that sharpen its silhouette.

Curved glazing and sweeping fascias wrap the corner, with a timber soffit below the living level.

The attic is accessed by the main stair, but also playfully accessed mezzanine-style via a folding ladder from all 3 children's bedrooms at the floor below. This attic becomes a hideaway library for the children only.
