Blaxland Road exemplifies the owner’s dedication to blending courtyards and water elements seamlessly. Although the project is surrounded by other residential buildings, the design by Wen Architects ingeniously crafts a space both secluded and open.
At its heart lies a courtyard, a spiritual place fostering connectivity between spaces. This central oasis effortlessly links indoor and outdoor realms on the ground level, offering a tranquil retreat for the occupants. The addition of the swimming pool, barbecue nook, and sunken fire pit caters to the preferences of Sydney’s families, epitomizing a lifestyle characterized by opulence and sophistication.
The indoor public area at the ground level incorporates double-height ceilings to maximize natural light penetration. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows grace the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, offering panoramic views of the lush surroundings on either side. This design imbues inhabitants with the sensation of meandering through verdant outdoor expanses even while indoors.
The second floor serves as a bedroom area, accentuated by a generous privacy screen safeguarding the owner’s personal space. Aesthetic harmony reigns with the natural wood-toned grille juxtaposed against the pristine white exterior walls, offering a seamless integration with the surrounding natural elements. This design ethos evokes a sense of tranquillity and visual cohesion, enhancing the building’s resonance with its environment.
