Warringah House by Corben Architects
The agents at Richardson & Wrench have recently listed for sale this 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom home in the Mosman neighborhood of Sydney, Australia. The house was designed by Corben Architects.
From Corben Architects:
This project involved replacing a single storey house with a two storey one on a sensitive site with extensive water views. A simple rectilinear form was adopted, which was then carefully articulated with timber and sandstone cladding to present a modern 3-dimensional structure that fits well into its immediate context. Energy efficiency design principles were used throughout. An operable skylight over the central core allows natural light and ventilation. Concrete floors and roof were used to maximise thermal mass and thermal comfort was enhanced with Low E glazing. Overhangs and screens were used for solar protection.

Wonderful! Love the family room. Very quiet and secluded looking compared to the openness of the rest of the house.

It seems like Sydney has a thousand modern houses. This one is very nice, but I would have tried to match the exterior decking color with the internal hardwoods to give it a more seemless look from outside to inside.

I can’t imagine being able to live in a climate where you could actually get a breeze by opening an entire wall, as opposed to a door…

The view from the dining area is amazing. It almost looks like a giant photo.
