A substantial harbour-front home that reflects the way its owners live and its unique location. The design of this four-level residence, nestled in Sydney’s increasingly dense eastern suburbs, offers exceptional space, privacy, and comfort within a remarkably compact footprint.
The architecture strikes a balance between seclusion and spectacular harbour views. From the street, the house presents itself as understated and respectful of its neighbours, with a discreet entry and an elevated garden terrace that reveals little. Inside, spaces open up to reveal surprising volume and light, most notably in the double-height entry, which is framed by a library above and a soaring balcony that captures the water views while providing protection from the western sun.
A generous stair and lift connect four levels, providing a practical and comfortable home that can easily adapt to changing family needs. Angled windows are carefully placed to enhance the outlook while ensuring privacy, avoiding direct views into neighbouring homes. Every element has been designed for both beauty and function, from the sculptural concrete blades that frame the western façade to the finely detailed copper and Sydney sandstone finishes.
