Description
Description | The Pumphouse Project is a residential project by MHN Design Union and Fieldwork that exemplifies human-centred and biophilic design principles. It draws inspiration from the site's history as a natural wetland and Sydney Water facility, integrating natural flows, undulating forms, and materials reminiscent of alluvial and sedimentary landscapes. The project features Fairview's Clayton terracotta cladding, which blends seamlessly from exterior facades into interior spaces to create a unified, textural narrative, enhancing thermal mass, acoustic comfort, and visual warmth. |
