An Architect's Own Minimalist Oasis in the Inner Suburbs (House Tour)

An Architect's Own Minimalist Oasis in the Inner Suburbs (House Tour)

Queens Park House is an architect’s own minimalist oasis. Designed by Kyra Thomas Architects, the calming suburban home strongly contrasts its previous iteration as a storage warehouse.

Located in Sydney, Queens Park House was originally a storage warehouse with brick walls built to the boundary of its site. Converting the commercial property into an architect’s own minimalist oasis required opening up the building and rewriting its internal character.

Structurally, turning the warehouse into an architect’s own minimalist oasis involved removing the pre-existing roof and inserting walls into the interior of the building. The brick boundary walls are retained, enabling a sense of privacy within the suburban setting and paying homage to the history of the building.

As an architect’s own minimalist oasis, Queens Park House embraces natural light and fresh air. Four courtyards punctate the spatial plan, creating green space for different aspects of the house to relate to, as well as facilitating internal lighting and ventilation.

Responding to the residential needs of the client, Queens Park House stands as an architect’s own minimalist oasis. Custom and considered, the home testifies to the skill of Kyra Thomas Architects in transforming a commercial space.

    I’m a sucker for interior courtyards. This is beautiful. Very calm, relaxing, spare, but not cold.

  21. @wbennett9989 on September 6, 2024 at 4:22 pm

    With respect to the homeowners, I feel the interior is a bit cold / uninviting. I get the sense that the interior has maintained a warehouse feeling to it… when I want to see much more warmth and wood, especially in contrast to the fact that it is a converted warehouse…feels cold over video. I love the courtyards and how they brought light in throughout.

  32. @Samantha-ys2pp on September 6, 2024 at 4:39 pm

    It is nice. I don’t see any innovation or great new ideas. But it is pleasing to the viisual. And let’s keep in mind this is how it looks for the shooting. People eat, cook, change clothes, make places dirty. I don’t know for how many hours a day that house looks like this…
