A quiet, deliberate home in Burswood—part preservation, part portrait—framing light, landscape, and the life of its owner.
Burswood, WA
This renovation for creative director Sheridan Tjhung transforms a 1920s timber cottage in Burswood into a calm and deliberate home, grounded in memory and potential. Purchased with an unfinished rear addition, the home was reimagined from a single concept sketch that convinced Sheridan to buy it.
The design retains the integrity of the original cottage while inserting a bold yet restrained new volume at the rear. A steep roof lifts to the south, drawing in soft light and framing views of the established Cape Lilac tree that anchors the backyard.
The architecture is quiet but confident—carefully balanced between old and new, robust and delicate. Interior spaces are reoriented to support work, rest, and everyday rituals, with a material palette tuned to the warm tones of Burswood’s sandy soils.
More than a renovation, this project is a portrait—of place, personality, and the quiet ambition of making a house one’s own.
