This Victorian terrace house in Sydney’s sought-after suburb of Surry Hills became home to a young family who had outgrown their previous home and were looking forward to having more space – particularly in the outdoor courtyard.
The exterior lends itself to a bygone era – but inside, the interior is like the suburb – current, contemporary, and full of life.
This family engaged landscape architect, Kev Quelch from Inovasis Design to reimagine the outdoor area – optimising the space to create two contemporary living zones that would give the courtyard increased functionality.
The clients wanted a contemporary space for the family to enjoy, and to maximise the relatively small space. An area to eat was key along with a space to sit and relax. A priority was having an outdoor fireplace
Tradition Meets Sophistication
The courtyard is accessed via the main living area through two French doors which open out to reveal a bright, clean sophisticated al fresco area, drenched in sunlight.
