Tempe House was nominated and won the highest award in the 2013 Marrickville Medal, which is Sydney's longest running conservation award.
|
|
|
Acacia Joinery's involvement in this project included the manufacture of a wide variety of timber windows, doors and screens.
|
|
|
The rear of the house was re-constructed to draw sunlight & ventilation throughout the house. A set of timber sliding doors create a stronger connection between house and garden.
|
|
|
Louvre hi-lite windows catch the North Easterly breeze, allowing a cool draft in the summer and warmth in the winter.
|
|
|
The re-creation of a japanese styled bathroom at the back of the home features a sliding window and privacy screen, allowing views on three sides to the beautiful private garden.
|
|
|
Also included in the project was the construction of a Japanese-style hardwood Art Studio at the rear of the property.
