Fourth House

Going against the grind of properties on the same street, where many are being replaced by project homes, Fourth House blends the charm of a classic Federation frontage with a fresh, modern extension. 

The original frontage maintains its heritage appeal and houses the bedrooms, main bathroom and master suite. The original sunroom has been converted into a bright and airy ensuite featuring a bath and seperate shower.

A skylit hallway connects the old and new, filtering into the new laundry, powder room, and study. The design highlights the shift from the warmth of timber floorboards to the sleek elegance of burnished concrete, marking a smooth transition from the classic to the contemporary.

The outdated rear extension made way for a functional new addition that was raised to meet the garden and pool for a smooth indoor - outdoor transition. The spacious open-plan living spaces seamlessly integrate the kitchen and dining area, perfect for modern living.

About the
Professional

Dieppe Design is a small (but mighty!) architecture firm located in Sydney.

We specialise in new builds, alterations & additions, interior renovations and Passive House Design. We work closely with our clients, listening to their design and functional brief, how our clients live their life and what visually inspires them.

The first stage of our process ends in a presentation of unique and personalised concepts, leading to design development all the way to construction and turn-key. We use the latest technology including 3D imagery, video flythroughs and virtual reality to ensure our clients can fully experience our concepts.

This enables us to make changes early in the design development aiming for a seamless construction process. We want the journey to be an enjoyable collaboration between client, architect and builder. In fact, we often miss working with our clients once the project is complete!

Dieppe Design is an A+ member of the Australian Institute of Architects practice and certified in Passivhaus Design. Our consultants, suppliers and contractors are carefully selected and we are proud to share the same ethics ensuring our clients are looked after.

As certified Passivhaus Design Architects, clients can comfortably choose to incorporate Passive House Design concepts or certification into their project. Our aim is to create exceptional architecture & interiors that does not impact the future of our planet.

We feel strongly about the environmental surrounds of each project and the impact it will have on the locale forming part of the design process. Dieppe Design has detailed experience of projects located in bush fire prone areas and any constraints or limitations of the land are thoroughly considered.

To date, Dieppe Design has been inspired how each client lives and connects in their spaces. We learn and evolve from every project looking forward to what our future clients may show us on the next journey.
