Shortlist: Emerging Architecture Practice
Downie North for Machiya House
Machiya House beautifully blends old with new in a Sydney heritage setting. Inspired by the traditional Japanese townhouses (Machiya) of Kyoto, its private and public domains co-exist, with layers of screening and curated openings to draw in light and engage the streetscape, discreetly hinting at the life lived within.
