we explore Cascade House, a stunning Paddington renovation that reimagines family living. Nestled on a sloping hillside, the architects faced the challenge of creating a space that fostered independence for the young residents while keeping them close. Discover how clever split-levels bridge the topography, blurring the lines between inside and out. Witness the light-filled courtyard seamlessly connected to the kitchen, where the pool reflects onto the ceiling in a mesmerizing dance of light. Ascend to the heart of the home - the cozy lounge - where built-in seating maximizes both space and connection. Gaze out across the room to the bustling meals area below, up to the bedrooms in the original cottage, and even out to the street, fostering a sense of community. We celebrate the architects' respect for the neighborhood, keeping the house at its original height and allowing the addition to seamlessly blend in. The sloping site becomes an advantage, with the cascading roof sheltering the split-level spaces from the harsh afternoon sun. Finally, step onto the elevated deck and witness the true reward - an uninterrupted panorama of the valley and hills bathed in the golden hues of sunset. Cascade House is a testament to thoughtful design, proving that a little ingenuity can create a haven that prioritizes family connection and celebrates the beauty of its surroundings.
