Three pavilion forms on a double frontage corner block — contemporary style and open-plan living with a secondary dwelling in Ermington, Sydney.

Strategic Pavilion Forms

Nestled on a double frontage corner block, three strategically arranged pavilions balance practicality with geometric form. Each shape breaks up the visual bulk of the dwelling and takes full advantage of the dual street frontage to create a uniquely composed design. The pavilions are complemented by planters of lush greenery, creating a visual narrative that harmonises with the natural beauty of the streetscape — a blend of contemporary style and functionality, crafting spaces that are both visually striking and incredibly practical.

Careful Material Selection

Our design philosophy involves careful material and texture selection. Dark Axon cladding, contrasting white interiors and soffits, vertical battens, and painted bagged brick harmoniously blend to introduce sophistication across the Ermington interiors and exteriors. The use of neutral palettes balanced with bold accent colours plays an important role in defining this contemporary home's character.

Dual-Purpose Living

Beyond aesthetics, the design addresses practical living through simple, efficient open floor plans and sustainable features. With a secondary dwelling as a key requirement in the brief, the design provides essential separation and privacy between the main and secondary dwellings while ensuring both receive ample natural sunlight throughout the day.

Contemporary Design Meets Functionality

Natural light, channelled through precisely located large sliding doors, offers views of the swimming pool and backyard — an important requirement for the client to witness the family's growth in open-plan living. Curated elements bring comfort and style together, transcending the mere structure to prioritise the needs of those inside.

Innovative Features and Modern Amenities

Seamless battens conceal practical garage doors, and well-planned floor plans take advantage of solar orientation — all carefully considered elements that form the foundation of any good contemporary home design. From cutting-edge technology to luxurious finishes, every decision elevates the living experience and transforms the home into a stylish, enduring sanctuary.
