Evolving a small modernist project home from 1964 meant balancing its design heritage while adapting it for contemporary family living.
Sydney House, originally a Pettit & Sevitt (P&S) home in the leafy suburbs north of the Harbour Bridge, lacked practical family spaces but sat on a gently sloping sun-soaked site, rich with tall eucalypts, birds and visits from native fauna. Alterations and additions by Sam Marshall, architect of Sydney s Museum of Contemporary Art, pays homage to its modularity, connection to nature, and simple natural materials.
The house is one of the original Pettit & Sevitt Lowline designs by the late acclaimed architect Ken Woolley and it was the Lowline B which won the Royal Australian Institute of Architects design award in 1967 for project homes. A proponent of Sydney School modernist architecture, Woolley s designs drew from Japanese post-and-beam construction and organic design elements among other things.
