LANDED HOUSE AT BRADDELL HEIGHTS ESTATE
Tucked in a quiet corner of Braddell Heights Estate, this terrace house was redesigned for a young family of four. The brief was simple but clear: open up the house, bring in as much natural light as possible, and create a calm, modern home that works for everyday family life.
The existing structure felt enclosed and heavy. Our first move was to strip things back—to create flow and allow the house to breathe. A new vertical timber screen along the front provides both privacy and warmth, softening the facade while hinting at the material palette inside.
The ground floor was reworked into a single, connected zone—living, dining, and kitchen spaces flowing seamlessly from one to the next. Natural light fills the space from all directions, thanks to new full-height sliding doors and a courtyard garden tucked along the side.
A curved archway marks the transition to the staircase, adding a subtle sculptural element to the interior. Timber treads, a slim black handrail, and clear glass keep the stairwell feeling light and open.
The children’s rooms are designed to be practical and playful—compact yet efficient, with integrated desks and plenty of storage.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are calm and understated. In the master, warm wood tones and built-in cabinetry are tucked neatly into a gentle arch, cleverly concealing the stair bulkhead that juts into the room.
Further in, the family lounge offers a darker, more enclosed setting—outfitted with a full sound system, and a custom-built bar concealed within matte timber cabinetry. The bathroom takes a slightly richer turn. Cladded in Metalicus granite, paired with award winning pale gold fittings designed by Carlo Colomboarch , they add a tactile contrast to the otherwise soft, neutral palette of the home.
A linear skylight spans the top of the stairwell, casting natural light into the space and lifting the heaviness that once defined it.
