Putney House

Name Putney House
Client Private
Country Wallumedegal
Location Putney, NSW
Year 2001

Located on the northern bank of the Parramatta River, the Putney House hides a dual identity: a facade recalling a river villa and a playful internal courtyard that weaves the house and garden together. The living rooms extend through the depth of the house, encircled by the private green space at the heart of the home.

The folded plywood roof reaches through the wall to form a sunshade for the home’s exposed glazing, becoming an expressive element throughout the space.

The external walls are grey-stained ply, jointed with aluminium T sections. Windows and solid shutters slide across the face of the walls to leave the openings free of framing.
