Sydney Street House is a stunning transformation project, planned and carried out by Fouché Architects. They remodelled it from a boarding house, an original pre-1946 house. They convert this small cottage in the desirable suburb of New Farm into a four-bedroom family home with all of today’s conveniences and amenities. Clearly, the renovation works sought to bring light, tactility and connectivity to an otherwise dreary and rundown house. So, they decided on taking a tactile approach to structure and decor. In addition to making the house’s living spaces more enjoyable to spend time in, it will make people actually want to use the rooms. After all, houses are truly meant to be lived in!

Besides, this home located on beautiful lot with amazing views and wonderful outdoor living spaces including patio, pool, garden. Certainly, it is truly dream house with wonderful living room ideas; dining room idea; kitchen idea; bedroom idea; bathroom idea; outdoor living idea; and other great ideas.

Sydney Street House Re-Opened in a Stunning Way by Fouché Architects — The rear extension is operationally external but has a strong connection to the internal living spaces and feels like it’s part of the internal space. The material palette is robust. And, brick and spotted gum hardwood dominate the lantern-like structure to create shelter and privacy. Besides, the brick and timber then extend into the ground level floor plate to further strengthen the relationship between inside and out.

They closed the once connected places where outdoor and indoor areas. Also, internalizing almost entirely and most functional spaces. Thus, it makes the house to reduce natural lighting.

Text by the Architects: The original pre-1946 house that occupied the site had previously been used as a boarding house. It had been raised and all verandahs were enclosed. The living spaces were internalised and segregated and there was little connection between outside and inside.
