Womurrung Residence, street front in Castle Hill

Womurrung Residence

Layered forms, light and dark, open to the garden.

The project

Light and dark layered forms to the street. Inside, dark joinery, pale veined stone and glazing that opens to the pool terrace.

Womurrung Residence is defined by layered rectangular forms, with light and dark finishes giving the façade depth and clarity. Recessed balconies and a tall glazed entrance create an open, contemporary street presence. Inside, dark joinery and pale veined surfaces form a restrained palette, softened by timber tones and concealed lighting. Expansive glazing connects the living spaces to the pool terrace, allowing daily life to flow naturally between indoors and out.
