Bounganvillea house Sydney – Revisited

Did you know that Sydney’s planners are considering the return of the terraced house, or row house, as a favoured residential building type.  It is believed the terrace could be one solution to addressing housing affordability; by allowing the subdivision of standard quarter acre blocks of land into narrow strips and building adjoining two-three storey dwellings.

This Woollahra terrace designed by Luigi Rosselli demonstrates that, even on a small site, you can fit a home with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a guest flat, a garage, and an open-plan living, dining, kitchen suite, without missing out on a study, dressing room, laundry, balcony, lightwells and two wonderful courtyards! Economy of space forced the architects to think clever, and employ efficient solutions to home planning

Designing for a film director requires good planning and engaging imagery, the stair balustrade with fish scale brass screen is not a standard balustrade by any means. The powder room inserted under the stair is a voluptuous space that feels nothing like an aircraft WC, despite its dimensions being smaller.  The dining seat takes inspiration from the Michelin Man and Irish furniture designer, Eileen Gray. I simply cannot get enough of this stunning home, it’s all in the detail!
