Elon­gat­ed, lin­ear and set with­in an irreg­u­lar shaped block, this project care­ful­ly inte­grates archi­tec­ture with land­scape and envi­ron­ment to cre­ate a home that responds to the unique qual­i­ties of its site.

Designed around a cen­tral court­yard struc­ture, the home wel­comes its con­nec­tion with out­doors. The restrained mate­r­i­al palette strength­ens this rela­tion­ship, the appli­ca­tion of con­crete, tim­ber and dark met­al con­tin­u­ing seam­less­ly through­out. But it is here that we found oppor­tu­ni­ty, not only to soft­en, but con­nect the build­ing with the sur­round­ing envi­ron­ment —the land­scape com­ple­ment­ing and embrac­ing ele­ments such as the exposed sand­stone rock­shelf, while pro­vid­ing relief to the archi­tec­tur­al backdrop.

About the
Professional

Wyer & Co. is an inte­grat­ed land­scape design prac­tice, found­ed by Antho­ny Wyer in 2005.

Based in Syd­ney, our team of archi­tects, design­ers, hor­ti­cul­tur­al­ists and con­struc­tion spe­cial­ists col­lab­o­rate with our clients to cre­ate, con­struct, and main­tain, excep­tion­al land­scapes, for excep­tion­al homes.

Mul­ti-lay­ered, beau­ti­ful, and some­times sur­pris­ing, the spaces we design draw upon our deep knowl­edge of hor­ti­cul­ture and ecolo­gies; our under­stand­ing of the Syd­ney lifestyle and cli­mate, and the unique aspi­ra­tions and per­son­al­i­ties of their residents.

Every­thing we do is found­ed in the belief that land­scapes are a pow­er­ful medi­um to con­nect peo­ple to place, to tell sto­ries through time, and ele­vate the way we live outside.
