DESIGN OVERVIEW
Ryde, NSW
Two complete homes. One considered response to frontage, privacy, daylight and private open space.
The Site
A side-by-side design concept shaped to give each home its own street presence, protected garden outlook and practical everyday sequence.
Distinct entries and subtle facade variation help each residence read as a complete home.
Stairs, storage and wet areas form an efficient shared centre while protecting living spaces.
Living zones open toward separate rear courtyards for light, landscape and everyday privacy.
Staggered openings and buffered room planning reduce direct overlooking between the homes.
The Two Homes
A shared architectural language, with a different response to outlook, retreat and daily arrival in each home.
Design Response for Home 1A
A wider opening strengthens the relationship between kitchen, dining and the protected rear courtyard, while the upper retreat creates a quieter second living zone.
Design Response for Home 1B
A screened entry sequence creates separation from the driveway, while the main bedroom and first-floor sitting space are oriented toward the quieter garden outlook.
Two driveways and entries provide clear addresses and convenient access without compromising privacy.
Window placement, screening and protected courtyards reduce direct views between adjoining homes.
North-oriented living and generous openings bring light into usable, private outdoor space.
Each home keeps secure parking and a logical service arrangement for comfortable daily living.
