Brick And Timber Twin Homes

Brick And Timber Twin Homes

Positioned in the Sydney’;s Balmain Heritage Conservation Region, this project consists of the alteration of and addition to the existing semi-detached houses. These Victorian-time workers cottages have been significantly transformed to suit the new owners’; brief for a house and office space at the very same time. The solution identified by architects Benn+Penna is a sequence of very carefully unfolding scenes, organized in such a way as to handle privacy whilst remaining interconnected. The result is a twin property with brick facades and cedar cladding and screens. The brick walls are a heritage feature that needed to be preserved, even though the cedar addition brings that touch of architectural sophistication. Apart from that, the cedar screens filter the light and insure the desired level of privacy both in the rooms and in the modest courtyard terraces. The two houses mirror every other in terms of layout. The corner portion of the residence has an extra space on the ground floor, utilised as workplace space. The elevated ground floor is symmetrical, with open program kitchen and living room opening on a courtyard terrace. An additional area on the street side is used as bedroom or operating space, based on the certain wants. The upper floor is a rectangular box that has been added to the existing structure and has the very same function of bedroom/workplace space.

The two homes are divided my a communal central wall, that is continued outdoors, separating thus the two modest courtyards. This wall is in red brick, like all the external walls of the property- element of the heritage of the neighborhood.

From the open-plan kitchen and living area level, an open staircase leads up to the private part of the property, used as bedroom or workplace space.

In order to make the most of the reduced space, a lot of custom furnishings has been created specifically for the residence, from shelves, to desks and constructed-in storage.

The level of light and privacy on the top floor is regulated thanks to the wood screens that can be open or kept closed.

Let the hues of fall inspire your decor. The bright reds, golden yellows, and vibrant oranges can be mixed and matched with evergreen colors, such as blues, greens, or neutrals, to create a cozy and comfortable look that carries panache year-round.


Brighten Your Outlook
Deep color creates a cozy ambiance in this sitting area. A curvy vine pattern on blue-green wallpaper softens the masculine lines of the dark wood shelving and brown wing chair. To keep the room lively, vibrant orange curtain panels frame the window while orange pillows prevent the chair from becoming a dark mass in the room. Orange accents, such as a small runner on the side table dot the room with the peppy hue.


Orange Crush
Subtle variations of orange harmonize perfectly in this sunlit living room. From the apricot walls to the peachy curtains, the various shades make the color interesting but not overpowering.


Side by Side
Orange and hot pink make a harmonious pair. A large piece of artwork adds brightness to the white walls. Orange pillows and throws are a warm and cuddly touch. Both shades are present in the one-of-a-kind chandelier.


Under Cover
Make an impact with colorful furnishings that don't require permanent commitment. In this lively living room, slipcovers bring saturated color to basic chair and ottoman shapes. A bargain armchair found at an estate sale got a new personality with splashy solid red. A new cube ottoman matches with orange slipcovers banded in red. For a bit of visual relief, the large sofa is slipcovered in plain white. The side table, a tag sale find, gets new life with a coat of bold red paint.


With Complements
Orange walls dominate the color palette in this dramatic yet inviting dining room. A tone-on-tone pattern adds depth to the energetic vibe and keeps the broad expanse of vibrant wall color interesting. Complementary blue creates a focus in the paired artwork on the wall and brings in a cool note of color to balance the warmth of orange. Frames and furnishings provide solid shapes of black and dark brown to counter the delicacy of the patterns.


Juicy Hues
Vivid, zesty orange is a perfect hue for any room, such as an office, that would benefit from orange's energetic vibe. In this basement craft room/office an adjacent wall in lime green provides a cool contrast to the hot orange but keeps things in the citrus family. Tone-on-tone painted flowers on the orange wall add lively pattern. Slipcovers on the chairs encapsulate the color scheme with powder blue, lime, and orange stripes, introducing the third color, blue, into the mix.


Citrus Punch
If your work space could use an injection of pure energy, bring in some vivid orange paint and fabrics to do the job. Extend the life of old chairs with slipcovers made of orange, pink, and yellow pattern fabric. Rejuvenate a wicker table with tangerine spray paint and create a new striped rug in an afternoon with paint, painter's tape, and a canvas drop cloth. Add some flirty cotton curtain panels and you have a room designed with and for productive energy.


Orange Everywhere
This living room is small on space but long on style with orange sofas and orange walls. An unusual complementary color scheme of orange and blue serves to rev up each hue.


Light Bright
A deep orange adds life to this bedroom. During the day the color is bold and energizing. At night it's warm and cozy. The wooden bed frame, side table, and chair work together to ground the bright walls. The antique blanket chest at the foot of the bed brings together all the colors in the room.
