Set on a constrained site in Sydney’s increasingly dense Eastern suburbs, the architecture creates an exceptional sense of space. A generous stair and lift connect four levels providing a practical and comfortable home that can easily adapt to changing family needs.
Privacy and outlook to a spectacular view are balanced through the architectural form and detailed design of windows. From the street, the house, with its elevated garden terrace, is discreet in appearance, respectful of its neighbours and gives little clue to what lies beyond. The entry space is filled with indirect northern light, with views to the double height library and upper level corridor creating spatial amenity and interior interest. A double-height balcony space faces the views, providing protection and screening from the westerly sun to be useable in all weather conditions.
The side elevations fold to provide angled windows towards views and avoid overlooking from neighbouring houses.
Sculptural, monumental concrete structural blades frame the western façade and complement Sydney sandstone and copper elements, creating an architecture that reflects Sydney as a distinct and special place in the world.
