Warmington House, Paddington, Brisbane, Australia
Warmington House is the transformation of an existing, characterful cottage on a steeply sloping site in Brisbane’s Inner suburb of Paddington.
Seeking to respect the cottage but to elevate it into an executive level family home, we carefully balanced the existing cottage over expansive open plan contemporary living spaces.
The new additions recede from the original cottage, to elevate its traditional character & disguise the vast space created inside. A soaring new void becomes the heart of the house and creates the space that both new & cottage’s floor spaces circulate around.
Inside and outside spaces both extend the experience of space on this narrow Paddington block. The double height spaces move between the new and existing architecture creating a textural, material dialogue between the old and new.
The device of the void continues again at the rear defining space within the backyard wrapped with draped plants disguising where the house ends and the landscaping beginnings.
Terraced planting wraps the pool, framing views from the interior living spaces. Sunlight through the voids accentuates the textural walls, shadow paly and deep recesses, adding to the play of old and new.
