Hurlstone Park II

Hurlstone Park House II is a renovation to a Federation home located on a corner block in Sydney’s Inner West. The original building form was retained and a new single storey addition runs along the side boundary, providing privacy while allowing the living spaces to open up to the north. Hurlstone Park House II is located on the land of the Wangal people of the Eora Nation in Sydney’s Inner West. The brief for this project was for a family home that allows for multiple separate living spaces and a strong connection between the interior and exterior.  The built form has been designed in response to multiple site conditions. Located along the length of the southern boundary, the addition provides privacy from the secondary street frontage while allowing the living spaces to open up to the north. The built form has been pushed and pulled to allow for four private courtyards that create a sanctuary for its occupants and enhances the project’s connection to the garden, whilst maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties. The project’s curved and wrapping built form allows for its varied living spaces where the family can both come together and retreat.
