With a very personal story behind the brief, Sidney House was a design response, that aimed to bring to life a house that would have normally been condemned to landfill.
Through a process of peeling back certain layers of the structure and carefully and strategically building it back with a new perspective, the house went through a transformative evolution that brought back its soul.
The use of raw, robust materials, with considered landscape integration allows the home to serve as a calming, self-maintaining sanctuary for the client.
Passive design, and appropriation of site and context took a house from something that didn’t consider aspects of where is sat to openly embracing its location.
