Project Overview

This custom home in Parramatta proves that a constrained site can still produce a generous, highly resolved architectural residence.

Built on a small parcel of land beside a commercial property, the project required careful planning around access, boundary protection and the relationship with neighbouring buildings.

We combined natural cedar, textured stone and glass fire bricks with Colorbond standing-seam cladding to give the home warmth, privacy and a distinct street presence. Fire-rated boundary construction, integrated lighting and custom window hoods address the site’s technical demands, while underfloor heating, VRV air conditioning, solar and bespoke joinery support comfortable everyday living.

The completed home won the Contract Houses category at the 2026 Master Builders Association of NSW Excellence in Housing Awards.
