Murdoch Residence | Kyearn Architecture

The Murdoch Residence stands out amidst suburban homes with its blend of openness and private retreats. Its welcoming entrance, highlighted by a grand staircase and lack of perimeter fencing, contrasts with typical suburban homes. Inside, a double volume living space offers space offers panoramic views and abundant natural light, while areas towards the rear provide intimacy and tranquillity, surrounded by lush trees of the adjacent park. Built on a challenging slope, the house preserves the original foundation and mature trees, minimising topographical changes and maintaining the landscape’s integrity. Sustainable Australian materials were prioritised in the interior design, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility, and supporting local industries.
