Hurlstone Park House II | CMA – Carla Middleton Architecture

Hurlstone Park House II is a renovation to a single storey Federation home located on a corner block in a heritage conservation area in Sydney’s Inner West. The original building form was retained and a new single storey addition runs along the side southern boundary, providing 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. The curved and wrapping built form allows for varied living spaces where the family can both come together and retreat. The addition’s scale responds to the sloping corner block and respects the existing streetscape context with an appropriate and subtle contemporary addition that is highly functional, with every space carefully designed to meet the client’s needs without excess.
