Ballast Point House

Posted on Wed, 14 Apr 2021 by midcenturyjo

“Designed for multi-generational living, this courtyard house resolves a difficult 260sqm sandstone ridge site through creation of a podium base consisting of a garage and clever two-level, dual-key apartment suite over which rests a two-storey dwelling of light-filled spaces clustered around gardens and courtyards.”

Emili Fox, the director of Sydney based architectural practice Fox Johnston has created her family’s forever home over three levels, the lower containing a suite for her parents. The house with its simple material palette of recycled brick, concrete and plywood seamlessly connects with the gardens through walls of glass while sustainability principles are at the forefront of the design.
