Wisteria House / Carter Williamson Architects

Andreas Luco — Thu, 23 May 2024 02:00:00 +0000

Wisteria is a dramatic timber expression of simplicity and purity. A contemporary addition to a fully restored Federation bungalow in Sydney’s inner west, its expansive form soaks up the sunshine and fosters a deep connection with the outdoors. Located in a heritage conservation area, its airy new volume unfolds in a delicate manifestation of a brief that asked for an open, warm home in which a family could truly gather, one that respected the home’s history while adding thoughtful contemporary layers. A light, airy pavilion is rhythmically expressed in Victorian ash.

Rosso Verde House / Carter Williamson Architects

Hana Abdel — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 02:00:00 +0000

An alteration to an existing warehouse conversion on Gadigal country in Camperdown, Rosso Verde is quality over quantity personified. In an area where space is at a premium, this project rejects the prevailing notion that bigger is always better, instead focusing on the quality of each room, access to the garden, and abundant natural light.

Tree Island House / Carter Williamson Architects

Hana Abdel — Wed, 24 May 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Tree Island is a family home that rises above its constraints, turning its limitations into its most striking features. Just four and a half meters wide internally, it maximizes space by reaching up high against the neighboring warehouse conversion to the south. A substantial void at the center of the home connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, its long, north-facing skylight illuminating every element of the family life cradled gently within.

Concrete Blonde House / Carter Williamson Architects

Alexandria Bramley — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 02:00:00 +0000

Concrete Blonde is an architectural jewelry box. It is an updated Annandale cottage that unfolds from a modest heritage façade to a generously spaced home. Warmth is expressed through earth tones and natural materials, capturing light through its skylights and courtyard well.

Woodcroft Neighbourhood Centre / Carter Williamson Architects

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 05 Apr 2020 10:00:00 +0000

After the former Community Centre was deliberately burnt down in 2015, the newly created City Architect’s Office took the opportunity to build a centre exemplifying its vision for community centres as places of lifelong learning, well-being, recreation and culture. Ambitions for the centre included an increased capacity and flexibility of spaces and for its architecture to galvanise civic pride. The brief to Carter Williamson called for:

102 The Mill / Carter Williamson Architects

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 17:00:00 +0000

The ambition for 102 The Mill was to preserve the industrial and varied history of Balmain while creating an inspiring and generous home. It’s vital for our suburbs to grow and change, however there is an opportunity to balance the use of existing industrial materials with a sensitive selection of new elements that continue to tell the story of the area, while adapting to new uses.

Truss House / Carter Williamson Architects

Antonia Cayupe — Sun, 21 May 2017 17:00:00 +0000

The Truss House is a new building embedded with a memory of the site’s former industrial past through the re-use of salvaged roof trusses. They create a new pitched skillion roof form, celebrating the exposed structure as an integral part of the character. The material palette nods to the existing timber mill building in its use of recycled brick walls, corrugated roof sheeting, concrete floors, and details,

Down Size Up Size House / Carter Williamson Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 19 May 2016 20:00:00 +0000

Moving from a nearby apartment, our clients wanted a modest home they could settle into and begin a family.

Spiegel Haus / Carter Williamson Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 02 Jun 2015 20:00:59 +0000

The evolution of Spiegel Haus was a somewhat unusual one for a practice that has come to anticipate and appreciate a hands-on approach from our clients. Simon and Astrid were different, once they had done the hard work of selecting an architect and communicating their brief, they were largely prepared to entrust us with the vision for their home.

Light Cannon House / Carter Williamson Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 01:00:00 +0000

When our clients approached us they had surrounded themselves with contemporary artworks of all forms and beautiful personal photographs from their travels, but it was hard to see anything inside the gloomy little rooms of their existing home. They came to us with a modest brief, not concerned with adding additional floor area and bedrooms but with finding ways of filling their little home with light. In turn we presented them with an unusual solution to the standard south-facing Sydney terrace problem, two tall sculpted roof forms with a low southern profile. The tall forms reach up and draw northern light in whilst the low profile sits comfortably over a run of joinery and maintains the available light to the neighbour’s north facing windows. As the conversation developed we started referring to the roof forms as light cannons, distant relations of those found in Le Corbusier’s La Tourette.

Green House / Carter Williamson Architects

Cristian Aguilar — Sun, 13 Apr 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The site falls by two storeys from Hartley St to the lane at the rear; creating a unified living plane was one of the key design gestures in this project. Kitchen, living and dining engage with the courtyard-like garden with a studio sitting atop the garage at the rear boundary, creating an amphitheatre back to the main house.

Cowshed House / Carter Williamson Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 01:00:00 +0000

The old cowshed in Glebe was a surprising find; a rare opportunity to preserve some of the character and charm of this eclectic neighbourhood and one we encouraged our clients to seize when they sought our advice on purchasing the property.

Emergency Shelter / Carter Williamson Architects

Diego Hernández — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:00:00 +0000

In a world increasingly challenged by both man-made and natural disasters, the Shelter has been designed as a sustainable housing prototype that can be configured to suit almost any climate or orientation and can be readily and cheaply transported to diverse and remote locations around the globe.

Balmain House / Carter Williamson Architects
