Castlecrag - Duplex
This contemporary dual-occupancy development is designed to offer a peaceful retreat amidst the vibrancy of a busy street. With a strong emphasis on materiality, functionality, and urban resilience, the residences showcase a refined composition of natural timber battens, exposed concrete, recycled brick, and a striking pitched metal roof. The combination of these materials not only enhances durability but also creates a warm and textural aesthetic that blends modernity with timeless character.
A key feature of the design is the integration of winter gardens—enclosed balconies positioned off the bedrooms—to act as a buffer against street noise while still allowing residents to enjoy natural light, fresh air, and an outdoor connection. This thoughtful solution enhances comfort without compromising the openness and livability of the spaces.
Inside, the residences feature open-plan living areas that seamlessly connect to private outdoor spaces, creating a balance between openness and privacy. Large windows frame curated views while optimizing natural light, and the material palette continues indoors, reinforcing a sense of cohesion and craftsmanship.
By prioritizing both aesthetic appeal and functional performance, this dual-occupancy project exemplifies SN Architects’ commitment to designing homes that respond intelligently to their environment while offering a refined, modern living experience.
