VIRTUAL TOUR: Humphrey Homes Mosman Park architect residence

This bold home has been conceived to be dramatic, mysterious and delicate all at once. Designed by Humphrey Homes, it is cubic in form, and the floating box structure adds an air of mystery and intrigue as it sits suspended in the street. Sheathed in the ancient Japanese method of shou sugi ban, it allows glimpses inside while also encapsulating privacy for the family. While the home is introverted from the street, inside it is the opposite with an open and extroverted nature. Making the most of the northern light, each room faces the central outdoor courtyard for maximum living permeability and entertaining options. The home is located in Mosman Park and was built in 16 months.
