Gibbs Residence, Sydney Australia

The original structure, a federation Arts and Crafts heritage gem, required meticulous preservation, guiding the inception of the new design.

Incorporating a rear addition featuring kitchen, dining, and living areas that seamlessly unfold onto the courtyard pool and garage, the contemporary elements weave effortlessly with the historical fabric. Harmony prevails as the design language gracefully echoes the details of the original, both internally and externally.

A distinctive internal courtyard serves as a clear marker, delineating the new work and honoring the integrity of the existing structure. The strategic incorporation of water elements throughout the site further enriches the built and landscape relationship, introducing a dynamic interplay that elevates the overall architectural experience.
