WORONORA RIVER HOUSE

Set on a fantastic site fronting the Woronora River with wonderful views to the bushland beyond, the brief for this project was to replan the existing free standing house to appreciate it’s setting. Constrained by strict planning controls and flood risks, these trusting clients worked collaboratively to review the design options and ultimately chose an outcome that valued natural light and ventilation over floor area. The introduction of a central courtyard means that light and winter sun enters the home without compromise to privacy or the river/bush outlook.
