A new-build house replacing two very narrow 2-storey weather-board cottages on the same lot but in a very derelict state. After much discussion with Heritage it was felt that it would not be possible to restore them to anything other than museum status as they could not be brought up to current BCA standards. It was also felt that they were not of that much interest and very little original fabric existed. A fairly unique opportunity presented itself to insert a contemporary building into a heritage conservation area – allowing for a future reading of this particular period of Sydney’s development.
The Client’s brief was clear – they did not want a white box minimalist house. Nor did they want a house that dictated the style under which they should live. Visiting the Client for the first time to take the project brief, we observed that they had a very eclectic and interesting collection of artworks, designer furniture, industrial junk and ‘found-objects’. This diversity combined with the brief that the style not dominate, seemed to lend itself to a more quirky and complex form (both internally and externally). The house has already been dubbed The Ark by the locals.This project presented an opportunity to re-visit the Sydney terraced house typology, which in recent years has been going through extensive re-assessment.
