Nestled within the urban enclave of Sydney’s inner west, Concord House presents as a contemporary and considered family home, intended to endure through its resilience and heightened focus on quality. Home to its young family, the interior spaces needed be contemporary and proportionately calm, delivering on a robustness required for family life. Layering familiar elements of warmth was also integral in reinforcing of a sense of place. The selective approach when choosing materiality and detailing, combined with a considered restraint, creates a balance between the rigid and softer features of the structure. Habitat Housing, together with Noir Blanc Interiors, propose a lasting and earnest series of spaces that use texture and contrast to create depth within the home.
