Carlton Terrace
WINDUST ARCHITECTS X INTERIORS
The owners of Carlton terrace asked for a
break from the past. They looked forward
to new spaces filled with natural light, all
year round living, and the ability to connect
visually with their surrounds. The local street
character reveals rows of terrace houses,
snug tightly alongside each other. Properties
are narrow in width and short in depth. With
the standard kitchen, dining and living space
requirements, together with an ambitious 4
bedrooms and 2 x bathrooms, the challenge
of going “up a level” and addressing the
overlooking and overshadowing of neighbors
cannot be underestimated.
Our approach was to first create a light and
airy, open ground floor plane, with a bold
volume above. At ground level, we outline
a continuous space from the kitchen to a
“green wall” externally. With the space being
visually continuous inside and out, each side
of the façade benefits from connection to
the other. In contrast, the upper-level form is
created from the want for appropriate space
