Katoomba, Blue Mountains NSW
The House

A heritage house, kept in its own register.

An account of how Kurrara is built and how it is furnished — the fabric of the place rather than its history.

Fabric

Weatherboard, gable and iron.

The house sits low and long on its block: painted weatherboard, steep gables, and a roof of corrugated iron. Structural detail will be described precisely once the heritage record is confirmed.

The Verandah

A room without walls.

The verandah wraps the northern face and does most of the living in the warmer months: morning coffee at one end, late reading at the other.

Interiors

Softened, not restyled.

Original joinery, high skirtings and pressed detail have been kept. Furnishing is deliberately quiet: wool, linen, unlacquered timber, and very little pattern.
