Stunning views of Kogarah Bay and Carrs Park in Sydney make this project an ideal location for a modern home capturing the essence of temperate living. The design brief called for an affordable family home accommodating two growing children with a contemporary aesthetic.

The solution not only met the requirements but exceeded expectations. Incorporating a North-facing courtyard maximized natural light and ventilation, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the home. Thoughtfully designed living areas include a dedicated play area for the kids, strategically arranged around the courtyard to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living.

To enhance openness and connection to the surroundings, a square void was introduced in the roof above the courtyard. This feature provides a glimpse of the sky and invites ample natural light to flood the interior spaces, adding a modern touch and contributing to the overall aesthetic.

Ensuring privacy and a sense of security, a white fence has been utilised defining the property boundaries. Carefully selected plantings not only add visual appeal but also shield the family from the nearby park, creating a tranquil and serene environment.

The rear yard is transformed into a private oasis, featuring a swimming pool with a tranquil water feature. This addition enhances the overall beauty of the house and provides a refreshing sounds for the family, perfect for relaxation and outdoor gatherings. The design successfully creates a comfortable and enjoyable living environment, utilizing the stunning views and natural elements of the site to their potential.

This modern home showcases stunning views, contemporary design elements, and thoughtful integration of natural elements. It reflects the vision of an affordable and stylish family home, perfectly suited to the needs and desires of its occupants.
