Parkland Arches, street front in Rydalmere

Parkland Arches

Classical forms, a contemporary expression.

The project

Arched windows and fine cornices to the street. A double-height living space inside.

Parkland Arches gives classical architectural forms a contemporary expression. Dark-framed arched windows and finely profiled cornices establish a measured rhythm across the white façade. A double-height living space brings generous proportions to the interior, with broad glazing opening towards leafy surroundings. Warm herringbone flooring, timber-toned joinery and pale veined surfaces add texture to the restrained palette.

The dark-framed arches define the street elevation. Inside, the double-height living space and herringbone floors give a different sense of scale. The gallery groups the images by part of the home so those relationships are easy to compare.
