Towoomba by Sandbox Studio®

Towoomba is a project designed by Sandbox Studio®. Weaving tradition and a contemporary focus on living connectedly, Towoomba draws from the existing eclecticism of Sydney’s architectural landscape. Behind the restored and preserved streetscape frontage, an additional upper level is added, neatly concealed from the streetscape. In expanding the overall footprint of the home and inviting more light into the interior, the home feels deliberately lighter and filled with more warmth from within. Photography by Katherine Lu.

Gathering House by Sandbox Studio®

Gathering House by Sandbox Studio®. Tucked into its residential surrounds, Gathering House needed to retain its roots as a warm and inviting family home, while also sculpting a new personal expression. Remaining congenial and approachable were core directives throughout, continuing a similar textural approach to finishes and materiality between old and new, and overlaying a sense of cohesion in the process. Although the addition sits in behind the original, from the front its presence isn’t felt, yet along the side and once inside, an emphasised overall increased scale becomes apparent. Taking formation within a pair of gabled roof peaks to the rear, the same angle as the original roof sits replicated with heightened refinement and precision. Photography by Katherine Lu.

Newtown Lighthaus by Sandbox Studio®

Newtown Lighthaus is a project designed by Sandbox Studio®. Located in an increasingly densified area within its namesake of Newtown, the inner west Sydney home weaves a series of additions in amongst the old. Ensuring the new works are bedded in a sensitivity to context, an extensive study of the established built form and architectural urban language was undertaken, to ensure the response was conducive and appropriate. Being surrounded by such an eclectic coming together of styles and architectural eras, the home needed to be anchored in place, and through the creation of a new sense of identity, Newtown Lighthaus takes position.

East Juliett by Sandbox Studio®

Capturing its past character and expressing its continued charm, East Juliett designed by Sandbox Studio® is an embrace of time. As a contributor to the heritage fabric of the area in Sydney’s inner-west, an extensive renovation and extension allowed the home’s previous self to be given a new life, while maintaining its original intent. Through a considered reworking of the internals, and an opening up to allow natural light in from various directions, the result is a home that welcomes natural light throughout the day, allowing it to animate the spaces as light moves in and out.
