Architect Alexander Symes has listed his environmentally minded Blackheath retreat, dubbed the Up-Cycle House.
The Blue Mountains house restoration at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-blackheath-125378270" target="_blank">12 Waragil Street</a> was driven by the philosophy of instead of demolishing an old home which has 'reached the end of its lifecycle', it can be 'up-cycled'.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/05/31/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-31%20at%2011.02.25%20AM.png" alt="">
Glebe-based Alexander Symes up-cycled the house, influenced by Scandinavian design, to create a sustainable and functional design and living.
The sculptural entrance of the house is accessed via railway sleepers and the floor throughout the house is a colourful mosaic of tiles. 
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/05/31/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-31%20at%2011.03.08%20AM.png" alt="">
Modern House agency have a price guide between $575,000 and $595,000.
The modest house in the Blue Mountains cost Symes $200,000 in 2008 using the First Home Owner Grant.

"The existing building’s shortcomings included its thermal envelope and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, and it needed a lot of maintenance and care," he noted.
Over the course of eight years, Symes, with assistance from family and friends, handcrafted the aging dwelling into an up-cycled three-bedroom, two-bathroom family home that explores best practice in sustainability.

His philosophy for the home was simple. If it ain't broke, don't fix it; if it is broke, fix it with recycled materials that explore best practice in sustainability.
The 104 square metre freestanding home on a 417 square metre parcel has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a rear fire-pit entertainment area.

A large open-plan living space runs the full width of the house
The structure is predominately insulated brick with a flat metal roof and incorporating eco technologies as architectural features.

The Solar pergola at the entrance provides shelter and generates power from the 1 kilowatt grid inter-tie porto-voltaic system.
Symes says he seeks a poetic approach to how an environment is experienced.
