Architecture, Product & Environment

The convoluted side approach and turn towards the main corridor in the existing Edwardian home at Barkly House, continues into the new living spaces dividing the plan into thirds: Kitchen on the west, lounge in the centre and dining to the east.

In an effort to gain solar access and winter sun into the centre of the living room, a central courtyard was proposed. The courtyard is a garden space that acts as an informal entry ‘around the side’ of the existing house and into the heart of the home. 

This north facade flanks the open stair and continues upstairs to the parent’s reading area and bedrooms.

Barkly House conversation pit… where the carpet matches the upholstery. You can also can enjoy views out to the brick garage where you’ll find Antony cooking passata and hanging his home made sausages … 🇮🇹

Barkly House kitchen is designed with a direct relationship to the lounge and views across to room to the dining table. 

The kitchen island is the arrival point when entering the living area. The island is sculptured to appear as table for entertaining and to gather around. 

The island is formed from a quartzite, a robust natural stone that can be enjoyed. 

Barkly House is home designed to be lived in.
