CplusC Architects and Builders have completed a house in Sydney, Australia. Called Queens Park Residence, the experience of this home is an uplifting calm, achieved with the material of warmth and expression of timber.

The Queens Park Residence has stemmed from an appreciation of timber from concept through to execution. A strong connection to an enclosed courtyard is established through the use of large windows and doors made of recycled Jarrah. Forming the threshold to the outdoors is a meticulously detailed pergola structure built of Jarrah and Western Red Cedar battens that filters the light to a fine filigree. Throughout the design the butterfly roof opens to reveal a delicate eave detail, crafted in Western Red Cedar battens that dissipate to a delicate edge against the sky. Beneath this timber canopy sits the Blue Gum deck and pool coping of Burmese Teak.
