An Architect's Own Minimalist Oasis in the Inner Suburbs (House Tour)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- 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.

Good morning ☀️ I’d like to purchase three back issues. Do you ship to the US?
Black cabinetry, white walls, and gray floors; I'm such a fan of these. And that courtyard!
Are the floors in the kitchen gray or ivory? It was hard to tell for me.
@@kursatosmanoglu6888 good question. I couldn't tell until she said "Italian Limestone floors", at 3:39. Upon further research, AKA Googling "what colour is Italian limestone?", I happened upon this explanation:
_"And because of the presence of a variety of minerals, it comes in numerous colors. The colors range from grey to buff, light beige to dark browns, reds, greens, greys, blues, blacks, yellow to pink, or orange pastel shades."_
So there we have it, folk; it's likely both colours.
Thanks Luke. I googled too about the Italian limestone colors. Hard to tell sometimes with the light. Thanks
@@kursatosmanoglu6888 they're beautiful nonetheless. Stunning place 😍
it actually looks very modern and elegant. but it looks sad to live there alone. well its the people that would make it alive
Jaw-dropping! And minimalist! Perfection. However to find such a space and develop and ''re-use'' an industrial building and not a new build from ground up is so encouraging and illustrates what good design and being in tune with the orginal building can result in something so brilliant. Thank you for sharing this incredible home.
They kept the brick wall boundary and nothing else. This narrative of "re-use" is masturbatory. These were incredibly wealthy people who did it because they thought it'd look nice, not for any other reason associated with sustainability, limiting waste, etc.
Beautiful work
Marvellous plane
Minimalist tranquility and green outdoor spaces mix so well here
Absolutely love the use of space with the courtyards, the perfect privacy and lushness of those gardens, just beautiful! ❤
This is a stunning example of minimalism at its best. Wishing this family many years of joy in their home!
Truly the first architect on this channel whose philosophy I’m 100% in sync with. Congratulations on creating your home.
I agree.
Can't say it's my taste but you can tell they executed their vision in a very comprehensive and personal way. Very striking!
Love the peace and simplicity of this house. Everything just right.
The level of restraint shown in this project is something I aspire to.
Excellent sound design 👌🏿
@olivia o. I am also repeatedly drawn to this design. Not to mention the garden goals as I aspire to craft my own. Restraint = big impact! 😀
The external walls are great-they allow privacy, texture, color and best use of all the land. The lushness of the gardens are also great and the creation of courtyards really made this space livable. The rest of the interior is every other minimal, modern box and misses out an opportunity to say something really new for an architect and builder.
This kind of minimalism is so beautiful and a real achievement. The windows and courtyards visible from each room, allowing the garden to be seen is very inspiring. Love it
As a retired architect, I say without hesitation that this house is just brilliant. I've only worked on major projects; museums, office building and the like, but is I planned to get myself a new house these are the architects that I would appoint
Amazing conversion of the commercial space to a home. It's so beautiful, peaceful, and serene. The creation of multiple Gardens and inner courtyards on the site is a wonderful use of space. Love the amount of privacy and seclusion that exists. Wonderful home! Minimalist at it's best!
I’m a sucker for interior courtyards. This is beautiful. Very calm, relaxing, spare, but not cold.
Very impressed with the courtyards and greenery with sliding windows. Keeping the high original walls has resulted in a sheltered oasis, as intended. Beautifully done.
Love love love this home. Probably the best I've seen on The Local Project. Great job by the homeowners!
Being their own client, you can see the immense amount of love and detail poured into the home. I can sense the serenity from here, thanks for letting us in.
Very nicely said.
Complete and utter architectural ingenuity. Such a brilliant transformation!
I love the space and also the placement of all foliage throughout the front entrance and outside the living area. So simple and lush!
Absolutely gorgeous. Calming. The kitchen is fabulous. The garden areas are divine. My stress level declined just watching this. I can only imagine the joy of living there.
The details and use of space is amazing .
This is what Architecture is all about. Perfect.
World class. So glad they chose to keep it single storey.
Architect and Developer = a match made in heaven!
Stunning. The most beautiful home I have ever seen.
I think I took a first breath at the beginning and a second one at the very end... So calm! The music fits perfectly to the mood of the rain.
I love this so much! The courtyard, the minimalist and calming approach. One of my favs for sure 😍
I love closed spaces.
I can't express how much I like this project. Every detail is perfect. The harmony is exquisite.
just listening to her explain and the home.. can imagine why the house is peaceful.. so is her voice and they way she talk... amazinggggggggggggg
BRAVO !! ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT! They are so fortunate to get to live there. May God let them enjoy it 🙏
Absolutely amazing, I could watch and listen to this episode all day long.
This is the first one I’ve seen that I’ve completely fallen 100% in love with. Beautiful work. What a treat 💕😊
I just love this home omg and so happy there's no second level not a fan of 2 level homes the green space is amazing ❤🥰😁🎈
Watching this with my breakfast coffee.... absolutely lovely house. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve had a home i designed drawn up for YEARS, and the biggest thing I want, is a large center courtyard (basically a square house, with 4 rooms, and the middle courtyard being big enough for a hot tub and a grill, and a little bit of grass). I love houses with courtyards!
Same man, I love courtyards
That sounds interesting. I would love to see the sketch if you don't mind. If you're willing to share, I can provide my email address. Thanks!
what are the cons to this kind of house? I bet its colder than others
What a beautiful home. Totally customized to the family needs. So peaceful.
Kyra did an incredible job on this project
5:20 Of course The Local Project films their magazine in such a beautifully artistic way!
AMAZING ……MY DREAM HOME…..FUNCTIONAL, BRINGS CALMNESS AND EQUILIBRIUM. WELL DONE
I've watched so many and this one is my favourite, the muted tones are gorgeous
I love this channel with madness, so much harmony in a single space
So beautiful! The calm and peace and the greenery…so sophisticated!!
This home architect design looks absolutely stunning! The combination of modern aesthetics and practical functionality is truly impressive. I love the use of natural light and open spaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail is evident, and it's clear that a lot of thought went into every aspect of the design. Overall, it's a masterpiece of architecture that promises both beauty and comfort for its future residents.
A really interesting project for sure! I couldn't live there, it feels like living in a mausoleum to me...but for many, it's heaven. The architectural aspect of it is the best I've seen, ever.
What a fabulous space! I love using as few materials as possible, I know exactly what she means, calm and continuity. Just beautiful!
Love the home and the finishes. The interior courtyard adds so much to the home.
stunning. I've said it before Australian designed homes are on another level.
Simply beautiful. Incredibly well designed and executed. Outstanding job. Thanks for sharing.
really amazed by this home. i'm not a big fan of minimalist, but somehow this home really fastinating.
Loving the courtyard concept. Thank you so much for the inspiration Kyra
Beautiful volumes, spaces, wall arrangements and openings.
Wow Kyra. Beautiful
What a spellbinding transformation of a warehouse into a suburban oasis! Black and white is a timeless combination that speaks to me! I wish we had such beautiful homes in India! I absolutely enjoyed the tour of your lovely home! Hope to see more!

A perfect modern form & western take of the traditional Japanese tsubo-niwa. So lovely!
Such a beautiful modern tranquil home, just stunning and here with all this light and glass a dark kitchen looks great. Great you left the home one level, high ceilings and there is no need for a second floor and love the limestone. Just so zen a real sanctuary from our chaotic world especially with the gardens
