Kingswood House / Archaea Architects

The site presented an attractive 1910 return verandah villa that sat quietly amongst its neighbors. At the rear, a 70s addition prevented connection to the deep site and the northern landscape. The client’s brief was underlined by two core requests. Firstly, a house that could support a growing family, particularly the changing needs of their young children. Secondly, a house that radiated warmth and held a clear sense of home through a collection of spaces that fostered restorative living and a lifestyle away from the demands of working as medical doctors, free of clinical shades of white.
