Beautiful Terrace House in Australia With Black and Wood Exterior

Even if most homes these days have a similar approach to design because of the modern trend, each home still differs because of the varying lot sizes, shape and style. Aside from that, the design also differs from one home to another because it would depend on what the owners want. The type of materials used also has a great impact to the design of a home both in the interior and the exterior. Other homeowners just prefer to redesign a certain part of their home or add an extension. Most of the time, it is the facade that is being transformed in order to get a more updated look. Today, we will feature a terrace house which used a lovely combination for its facade.

A terrace house in Sydney, Australia used bold black and wood exterior. The combination looks very modern and beautiful. It also sets the home apart from other residences around the area. This home is designed by Australian firm Carter Williamson Architects. They did the renovation of this 1900’s terrace house giving it a more modern appeal. Apart from that, you will also see that the interior of the house is designed really well without crowding its layout and design.

This is the facade of the house wherein we could see how it used wood and black colors together. Looking great, right? It does look really amazing compared to the homes next to it. It may be small but it is beautiful.

Sandstone walls were also used for the house and were paired with wood and black details to give the terrace home an updated look. Don’t you love the various textures of the home here?

The house also has a small grassy space which gives the home an outdoor area. Of course, it would be nice to have an outdoor space where you can enjoy the beautify of nature, the vast blue skies and where one can breathe fresh air without going far from home.

On the other side of the house, you can see sliding wooden shutters which provide privacy for the upstairs bedrooms. Aside from that, it also another wooden element for the home.

So, what can you say? This sure is a lovely home, right? What I like about this terrace house is its design especially in the interior. It looks really simple but it has everything one needs in order to live. I also find it interesting that the bathroom is located at the topmost part of the house. But of course, I would guess that there are also other bathrooms on lower areas too. I also like the wooden features used in the interior and the facade of the house. This home is a project designed by Carter Williamson Architects and it turned out really nice especially the facade where black colors and wooden materials were used.
