South Australia
The existing Parkside residence is a ‘turn of the century’ Villa. The original character of the existing building is maintained with the introduction of a complimentary, yet distinct extension to clearly delineate old and new.
The Villa was restored and brought back to its original form, by removing the small extension. The North – South axis was maintained through the interior, strengthening the ‘corridor’ whilst simultaneously opening the floor plan to allow morning light from the east to penetrate into the circulation zone of the home.
Parkside House is modest in scale, efficient in its use of space and rich with skillful details and subtle curves to draw your eye through the otherwise compact spaces.
The Australian Institute of Architects acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, and skies of the continent now called Australia.
We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
