This serene urban home is embraced by its garden in the inner Sydney suburb of Glebe. The heritage house with its contemporary extension is organized around a tranquil central courtyard, merging indoor and outdoor spaces. This courtyard expands the living areas, while side courtyards offer contemplative and food-producing spaces. This functional family garden features a lawn, trampoline, basketball hoop, and a vegetable patch with a native bee hive. It serves as a peaceful hub connecting and concealing various home activities. Utilizing sandstone blocks from the house’s foundations, existing materials were repurposed for hardscape elements, reducing the need for new resources.
