MARRICKVILLE HOUSE

Picture
Located in Sydney’s inner western suburb of Marrickville, this house was designed and built for an expanding young family. The design response includes extensive environmental strategies that include thermal mass, reverse masonry construction, passive solar design and external sun shading.

The site is orientated along the east-west axis with high level northern glazing designed to capture the low winter sun, but provide privacy from neighbouring properties. Internally this offers the living areas sweeping ceilings, vast volume and appealing views of the sky.

Enthusiastic clients, a detailed brief, a collaborative team and a speedy council approval all helped moved the project to construction effectively. The young, talented and motivated builder worked collaboratively with the clients and embraced the reverse masonry construction.
