The Queen’s Park House in Sydney, Australia is a federation house designed by Fox Johnson. This family home is provided with a large north-east facing site and is perfect for a growing family.
The core of the building is in fact the outdoor garden which is inserted between old and new, providing relaxation and permitting light and breezes to permeate. All the living areas are very bright and open onto a fabulous rear garden.
One of the important things on a house is the privacy, and this one can provide it unconditionally.

I love how the garden serves as the heart of the home, blending old and new. How does the design balance modern living needs with maintaining the classic federation style? Does the natural light impact energy efficiency here?
Thank you! The design carefully integrates modern layouts and materials while preserving key Federation details. Large windows and skylights maximize natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting and enhancing energy efficiency throughout the home.
