Balmain House

The brief was to bring light into our clients’ home and their lives. Their old home was Victorian, dark and periodically tight and depressing.The original house on the site is an 1860s timber cottage sourced, sawn and constructed from local timber. It was little changed when we got it. A L+EC ruling had virtually made it a heritage item, which came with court-defined planning concessions.The design is for a new building to sit sympathetically behind and recessive from the original cottage. The new building touches the old through a light, small connection that locates a gothic-like courtyard and the front door. The square ground floor houses the kitchen, living and dining rooms. Large voids puncture the upper level plan, organising the space between bedroom, study and library. The voids spatially organise the ground plan defining the kitchen, dining and circulation.The rear facade is a composition of light and shade. Strong off-form concrete blades attenuate east and west light, while marble horizontal louvres control northern light. The formal rhythm of the vertical blades are offset by the playfulness of the horizontal louvres. A roof garden hides the garage and defines an amphitheatre to the living room.Team Architect: Shaun Carter; Designers: Patrick Fitzgerald, Mattia Fiumani
