Parkside Residence

Australia is home to some super cool pieces of architecture and for fans of modern design, it’s one of the finest out there as this brilliantly conceived Parkside Residence home from Ashley Halliday Architects admirably illustrates. Wonderfully contemporary with an array of design flourishes throughout, this is modern architecture at its finest and we’re big fans of its aesthetic both inside and out here at Coolector HQ.

The great looking Parkside Residence from Ashley Halliday is located in Australia and takes its design cues from the nearby 1880’s Villas – form, scale, setbacks, roof profiles – an understated, contemporary palette of complementary materials and finishes was introduced. The house and garden were orchestrated to reflect the owner’s generosity of spirit, contemporary tastes, fluid family lifestyle, and desire to interact with their suburban community.



Aussie Awesomeness


A first class piece of architecture that showcases the design prowess of the studio behind the build, Ashley Halliday Architects.

Modern both inside and out and with a verdant garden space, this is the ultimate in relaxing living.

The two gabled pavilions of Parkside Residence in Australia sit perpendicular to one another, pulled apart and inflected to deliver impressive interstitial spaces between each that provide veiled views in and out whilst also ensuring pockets for the surrounding landscape to infiltrate and break down the overriding volume of the house itself.

The main living space within Parkside Residence from Ashley Halliday really makes the most of the gabled roof form with a portal steel frame that allows the roof form to continue internally. Tasmanian oak ceiling linings provide warmth and a sense of grandiosity to proceedings whilst the textured oak battens give a rhythm to the spaces, allowing the sense of perspective that is directed to the garden to the south.

Everywhere you look with this majestic piece of modern architecture in Australia, you’ll see a striking design detail or innovative use of materials which really helps to set it apart from the competition and if, like us, you appreciate high quality contemporary design, Parkside Residence will definitely be right up your street.
