This project re-imagines a terrace house, located in the leafy suburb of Paddington. Our clients were a young and energetic pair, recently joined by a delightful newborn. This project gave them – and us – an opportunity to reconfigure this terrace for family life. Their brief wished for a house that felt warm, light, open and homely. Aesthetics aside, they wanted their terrace to perform better: to be open in summer, cozy in winter, and more practical year-round. Continue reading Trias

Hideaway House is a place of retreat, designed for a couple who have swapped the city for quiet. Located in Sydney’s Blue Mountains, the site is secluded and surrounded by gum trees.

The home is largely self-sufficient and possesses a unique, utilitarian beauty that suits this setting. Hideaway House transforms an underused attic space into a series of bright and liveable rooms. The spatial planning is simple, with bedrooms nestled at each end of the space, and a generous hobby area between. Continue reading TRIAS

Three Piece House is a courtyard house, designed for a couple looking to downsize and live more simply.

The project places a modest, single-storey house and a studio on its site. These buildings are skewed to follow the site’s boundaries, and cluster to create privacy on this exposed corner lot.

The project proposes a new neighbourhood condition that is small and dense, with two discrete dwellings on a conventional suburban site. Continue reading TRIAS

Slate Cabin is a writer’s retreat perched on the edge of Snowdonia National Park in Mid Wales. The building is set in a lush green valley that is ringed by barren, windswept hills and grazing pastures. In response to this beautiful and yet harsh landscape, the cabin is a reductive black box that is anchored to the ground. It provides protection and respite to visitors who wish to escape the wind, rain and snow. Continue reading TRIAS
