Wisteria by Carter Williamson is a meticulous expression of simplicity and purity, an airy pavilion in Victorian ash. Inspired by traditional Japanese homes, it complements a restored Federation bungalow in Sydney’s inner west, embracing sunlight and a strong connection with the outdoors. Located in a heritage conservation area, this bright, spacious addition respects the home’s history while adding contemporary layers. It features a double-height void with a fireplace, rhythmic brickwork, polished concrete, timber framing, and steel and marble accents. The design harmonizes with the existing garden, enhancing family gatherings and daily rituals.

“A family with two young children found their dream home in Dolores Heights. While it was renovated not too long ago, it required additional work on the interiors to improve functionality and have the design ‘feel like them’. We updated finishes and lighting, created new millwork moments for storage and rethought the space planning of the main floor to accommodate their needs as a family.”

The transformation of Mosman House has created a bright, airy coastal residence. Initially focusing on structural improvements, the clients seized the chance to craft a home reflecting their lifestyle. Emphasizing beauty and functionality, Sydney-based studio Partridge Daniels redesigned the layout for better light and flow. A natural palette enhances the aesthetic. Notable features include a marble kitchen island, a scalloped fireplace, and a wool installation. Improved staircases, enlarged bedrooms, and a basement gym complete the transformation.

“Constructed in limestone rubble of a simple two-cell layout, the structure was carefully reworked by the owners Charlotte Boyens and Adam Scott, founders of the architecture practice, FreeState. With staggering sensitivity to the style and use of historic features, the house maintains references to original orientations around the font, altar, and windows.”
