Taking cues from the adjacent 1880’s villas, Parkside Residence, designed by Ashley Halliday, acknowledges its neighbours, celebrating the silhouettes of the existing streetscape through the formation of two main gabled pavilion arrangements.

Aligned perpendicular to one another, the pavilions sit separated to allow for a connective corridor space to bind them. The home is a modern insertion amongst its traditional setting, respectfully honouring the formal language of the established rooflines and adding to the rhythm of the streetscape.

Capturing the essence of a contemporary home, the interior is made up of a combined living, dining and kitchen area, which includes operable glazed elements, allowing the inside to transition outward. The design focuses on balancing both the privacy and experience of the home from within with a series of spaces.

A natural palette ensures a sense of warmth and texture is felt throughout the spaces, with tonal notes taken from the surrounding landscape.

The garden plays an important role in the design, influencing a sense of calm, as pockets of greenery are viewed from within. A dedicated outdoor area encourages the landscape to be occupied year-round whilst remaining connected to the home and its various functions.

The main living pavilion embraces a gabled roof form with a portal steel frame allowing the roof form to continue internally. Tasmanian oak ceiling linings add warmth and scale whilst the textured oak battens give a rhythm to the spaces, enhancing the sense of perspective that is directed to the garden to the south.

By collating references to the past and present, Parkside Residence becomes a home of lasting relevance in place, ensuring its continued future.
