Studio ERA pays our respects to the Gundungurra people, the traditional custodians of the land on which our studio resides. We believe that it is also important to acknowledge all the First Nations people on whose land we work, the D’harawal, Gadigal, Wodi-Wodi to name a few. It is such a privilege to work in these locations and we recognise our first people’s deep spiritual connection and understanding of country. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and emerging.
Tullawalla
A weekender at the base of the escarpment in Kangaroo Valley, Tullawalla is an old farming property with a cute little weatherboard cottage that looks up to the national park above.
The idea behind this house was that it would become a retirement home for our lovely clients and a place for their kids to come and stay to get away from the city.
The brief was to keep the existing dwelling and to give it a bit of a refresh and add an extension that will create a new living space and a parent’s retreat. The bushland is what drew our clients to this property so everything is about capturing that view and creating a sense of sanctuary. The extension is going to be modest, but versatile and provide a sense of space far greater than its size.
We’re still working on this one, so watch this space for more to come.
