Exuding the immediate feeling of joy, Wurrungwuri by Carter Williamson offers a pleasant experience from the home’s heritage façade to its modern extensions to become the best modern home in the area. As the clients desired a modern renovation to improve Wurrungwuri’s original from, Carter Williamson added a new addition that would respond to the heritage structure and rear harbour views as well as allow the owners to showcase their artwork. Both architect and interior designer, Carter Williamson performed the perfect collaboration between the client, architect, designer and builder, which resulted in the delivery of the best modern home.
From the front door, one experiences a warm welcome as they step into the original home, with living spaces to one side and bedrooms to the other. Moving further into the best modern home, a threshold between the old and new acts as a gallery. With a double-height void allowing for a connection to the dining room below, the void becomes an important part of the home’s interior design. In the below new additions, Carter Williamson has placed darker rooms to the left that sit under the original home, whilst light-filled spaces sit to the right. The home then leads into the main entertaining rooms and kitchen as well as the dining room that sits directly under the void that features a Tom Dixon chandelier.
Below this level is the cabana room acting as the great lounge room, whilst off to the other side is the elongated TV room. In addition, the cabana opens onto the pool, whilst the TV room opens to an outdoor dining area to encourage an ease of indoor-outdoor living. Set between these two spaces, stairs cascade down to the rear yard, complemented with a sandstone seawall and jetty that allows for an appreciation of the waterfront surrounds. Moreover, there is a generous roof terrace that sits within a garden, offering ample views of the harbour beyond as well as the lower levels of the home. Considering the home’s surrounds, Carter Williamson did not want to follow the same tactics as other residences yet still aimed to remain conscious of the sweeping views. Walls and sliding doors are employed to deliberately harness views in each room and encourage an appreciation of the best modern home.
Playing an important part in every home, natural light is brought in through courtyards, windows and various voids that connect the levels together. Furthermore, a reference to the materiality of the home’s original heritage sandstone form is seen in the glass and blonde bricks across the exterior and the concrete that is used to form the home’s main structure. Further expressing similar materials throughout the interior design, additional layers of texture and tactility help to bring the monumentality of the house’s architecture to a domestic scale. Born from a collaboration between the client’s ambition, the architects’ design and the builder’s craftmanship, Wurrungwuri becomes the best modern home in Sydney.
