Backstory: Residential design from memory to rebirth

Hopewood, located in Sydney's Darling Point, has about 90 Ping Spacious space that was originally a combination of two houses in a 1970s building. The story of this home begins with the owners inheriting the legacy of their parents, with memories of good times gone by, who want to breathe new life into the property and are ready to attract new buyers in the future.

However, this home faces several challenges:

• Internal space is too closedThe walls block the spectacular view of Sydney Harbour.
• Movement is not smooth, the extra space affects the overall sense of space.
• Lacking a sense of design, it is not possible to highlight the potential of the property.

The owner commissioned Madeleine Blanchfield Architects to redesign the residence to create a modern living space for future residents that connects nature with life.

Design highlights: the perfect balance of openness, nature and function

The design team boldly dismantled the interior and exterior walls to introduce natural light and expansive views into the home. The following are the main design features:

1. Open Space Layout‍

The north-facing living area is designed as a seamlessly connected space indoors and outdoors, allowing residents to enjoy the sunshine and views of Sydney Harbour at any time through a large area of glass sliding doors.

2. Functionality and beauty coexist

• The combination of art and practicality: The central column is designed as an art wall, showcasing the work of Australian artist Kathleen Petyarre and has storage functions.
• Clear division of the dining area: The kitchen is located on the east side of the residence and the dining area is on the west side, with French oak flooring and stone details, creating a comfortable visual level.

3. Privacy and vision at the same time‍

The entrance to the master bedroom is cleverly hidden by arched walls, providing a private and comfortable seating area, while ensuring that guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery around the corner.

Technological Breakthroughs and Design Details

The transformation of Hopewood not only demonstrates design aesthetics, but also overcomes a number of construction challenges:

1. Installation of large glass sliding doors‍

For an unobstructed view, the design team adopted the Vitrocsa sliding window system and hoisted it from the ground to the 11th floor. These windows not only enhance visuals, but also provide a flexible space usage experience.

2. Structural Transformation and Open-Up Design‍

The realignment of the concrete structure that previously blocked the view, makes the interior space more closely intertwined with the natural landscape, providing residents with a complete viewing experience.
