Roseville House
2020 Cammerai & Darug Country / Roseville, NSW
Interventions provide contemporary amenity and heritage integrity.
Mayrah was built circa 1920 for Annie Maria and Victor Aveling. The name Mayrah, may have been drawn from a Wiradjuri word meaning ‘wind that blows the winter away’.
Mayrah: A Ku-ring-gai Heritage House
Preserving character within the Clanville Conservation Area
Mayrah was built on a large lot that once included a tennis court and extensive grounds, but has since been sub-divided. It is listed as a heritage item of local significance in the Ku-ring-gai LEP, and forms part of the Clanville Heritage Conservation Area.

“According to Weir Philips Heritage, the house is best described as an early Interwar Free Style dwelling, drawing inspiration from the Federation Arts and Crafts Style and the Classical Revival Style. It is an unusual design, with some fine timber-lined interior spaces.”
Our interventions sought to provide contemporary amenity, whilst maintaining an understanding of the integrity of the heritage item, and the ongoing history of the dwelling.
A restrained material palette was selected to amplify the historic qualities of the house.
