Cowshed House- A Sustainable Home in Sydney, Australia

Spotted here is the residential house seated in Sydney, Australia. It is completed this year by the Carter Williamson Architects. This house is named as the Cowshed House. The designer preserves some of the character and charm of its design. Well, this house is built on a small parcel of land surrounded on three sides of roads. We can say that the design of its building was pretty simple with a long brick wall. In the interior, the client preferred to have an open layout plan. Each room is connected with the other room.

There is an expansion of the building from three to four meters for its width. Moreover, the bedroom mezzanine is located above the kitchen area. The designer utilized the ribbon of high clerestory windows that may capture natural light and wind. This covers the building and the roofline allowing the entire home to feel the natural light while keeping its privacy even if it’s located in an urban area. While the green courtyard serves as the natural extension of the living spaces.

The kid’s bedrooms are completed with the requisite hammocks tucked into the return of the L-shaped plan with a vivid red bathroom at the pivot that shows the clients’ proud Venezuelan Heritage. The robust material used explains the budget limitations of this house design. Concrete slabs were polished as flooring, recycled bricks off as face for the internal walls and the timber structure which is exposed in the exterior.
