Light Fittings: The light fittings on external balconies cannot be replaced. Restrictions do not apply to internal courtyards.

Satellite Dishes: Satellite dishes are not permitted on roofs, with the exception of a dish on the common property roof of one of the Terraces to enable provision of pay TV and the like to the whole of the strata scheme. Wall mounted dishes can be mounted on internal courtyards where they do not visually affect adjoining owners.

Trees and Shrubs: In order to preserve the solar amenity of neighbours, trees in courtyards must not exceed 3 metres in height.

History

The Cadigal Terraces – a contemporary take on Victorian terraces which once existed on the Colonial Sugar Refinery site where New Street ran and which eventually became a CSR carpark.

Houses were built on this site as shipyards, quarries and foundries developed from the 1840s. Those on New Street (roughly aligned with the present Cadigal Avenue) date at least from 1875. When CSR arrived and the refinery complex expanded, houses were bought for staff, or replaced with industrial plant. By the 1960s very few houses remained.

During the Second World War CSR’s workforce expanded to manufacture armaments. When peace returned and people began to drive to work in their own cars, this site became a staff car park, ranging from the Mercedes inherited by one of the timekeepers to the elderly Renault owned by the Chief Engineer.

Architecture

Designed by Richard Huxley of the Bureau of Urban Architects in 1998 and covering an entire block, the “Huxley Terraces” were a front runner in the urban renewal of Pyrmont Point. Seven grand scaled terraces front Refinery Park and the remaining eighteen terraces are courtyard styled.

It was the belief of Huxley that courtyard housing provided an under-utilised housing model well suited to Sydney’s climate and a medium density environment. The courtyard provides quality private outdoor area, bringing northern light into the floor plan, and is an effective extension of living areas.

“A major priority for this project was the focus on streetscape, articulation and achieving the right amount of variety within a repetitive rhythm. The result was a project we remain proud of architecturally and that sold well beyond market expectations”, said Huxley.

Graduating from a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1987 and completing a Masters of Architecture degree in 1997, his post-graduate thesis, “A search for the meaning of spirit of place in architecture” established his academic credibility. He later went on to teach in the undergraduate architecture and urban design program from 1997-2000 at UNSW.

Richard was one of the architects responsible for the acclaimed Olympic Village project. His urban housing project at Jackson’s Landing was nominated for the Wilkinson Award in 2000 and later exhibited by the Historic Houses Trust at the Museum of Sydney.

In 2004, Richard gave lecture 23 in the prestigious Source 490 Lecture Series on his architectural work and projects. Richard has 25 years of experience practicing architecture, 12 of those years as managing director of his own successful architectural firm.

His career has been dedicated to both the practice of architecture and the development of architectural theory advancing meaningful relationships between architecture, people and place through environmental design.
