St Peters Home Tour

This home takes family living to a new level, built on the lands of the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation by Mattbuild, and designed by Commonplace. Ten years in the making, the property was originally a small cottage, purchased by two friends with big ambitions to build a home together for their families.

Commonplace is a young architecture firm, amassing an impressive portfolio of homes with an emphasis on sustainable living and human-centric design. Founders, Fiona and Kellie enjoy finding the beauty in everyday spaces and certainly achieved that in this Petersham home.

Like any family home, this one was built on the foundations of open communication and compromise. It’s a testament to the friends, families and architects involved that they were able to execute a project with this level of ambition: two unique homes with different design details, which share a wall and land.
