How An Architect Designed A Family Home With A Japanese-Inspired Garden (House Tour)

Показать описание
How an architect designed Wisteria was by being guided by the idea of combining materials to create a warm family home. Carter Williamson Architects chose white surfaces that seem cloud-like and crafted timber walls.

Located in a leafy suburb in the inner west of Sydney, Wisteria is a Federation bungalow with a modern extension. How an architect designed the family home is shown in the way Carter Williamson Architects chose to embrace the heritage aspect of the home’s facade, connect the new extensions to the rear and relocate the living spaces to this modern addition. The way the home is connected to the large Jacaranda tree in the backyard shows how an architect designed a home that brings the outside in.

Beginning at the front gate, the house tour reveals the presentation of a classical Federation bungalow from the street, and once the door is opened, a light from the rear yard shines through. After passing the first arched threshold in the old part of the home, the house tour leads into the modified living space that offers views of the side yard and backyard. Just beyond this is the staircase to the upstairs private bedrooms, which has banisters painted in Dulux White that seemingly float between timber walls. Hidden just behind the stairs is the downstairs guest bathroom.

How an architect designed a modern home was by separating the original home and modern addition with a light well that brings sunlight deep into the home. To complement the natural light in the front of the house, Carter Williamson Architects chose Dulux’s Natural White, which is bright and reflective. In the kitchen, dining and additional living room, the architect has chosen Dulux Antique White USA, which offers a warmth that works in unison to the more reflective paint.

Within the new addition, the house tour reveals polished concrete floors, timber feature walls and marble kitchen countertops. Additionally, there is a walk-in pantry and laundry on this level and a large white wall featuring the Dulux Antique White USA. Behind this is the living room with outlooks to the rear garden and majestic Jacaranda tree. Upstairs, the architect has designed a gallery space that opens up via a window and looks down to the main living space.

Though the original home is made of brick, the new addition is a complete timber structure. How an architect designed the family home to suit their needs was through adding vertical lines within the wall that separates the living and kitchen to create a rhythm to the restrained palette of materials. To add a deeper connection to the outdoors, Dulux Knapsack was used across the joinery and in the study room. In partnership with Dulux, Carter Williamson Architects has turned Wisteria into a warm and welcoming family home that is filled with light and deep connections to its natural surrounds.

I love how calming the colour combination is, and it doesn’t feel messy despite the different levels and intricate spaces. The materials feel premium but also homey, not cold.

By far this is one of my favorite projects I've seen on this channel. It's more than a house or art gallery, it's a warm and inviting home

The design of Wisteria is truly captivating! Carter Williamson Architects have beautifully blended heritage charm with modern elements, creating a warm and inviting family home. The seamless integration of white and timber materials, along with the clever use of light wells, really brings the space to life. The connection to the Jacaranda tree and the thoughtful choice of Dulux paints make this home a stunning example of how to honor the past while embracing contemporary design. Can’t wait to see the full tour!

This is something rather special. Again another " real house". Indeed a home. As below the extension may take up a lot of the overall plot. However the end result is worth it. Calm, serene and spacious. Great use of natural materials too.
Thank you for sharing.

It's lovely, and I like how they combined the front original bungalow facade with the complete modern surprise inside....but I'm not visionary enough to really grasp all the twists and turns. I'd love to see a one-dimensional floor plan.

Lovely spaces within the home. Just wondering what the kitchen benchtops are made from? They go beautifully with the timber.

I would really like to see more Aussie architecture that isn’t constrained by a traditional
