A play of geography, geometry and light, the Crescent House is a singular, undulating sculpture that weaves through lush, coastal gardens and crescendoes with enchanting views across Sydney Harbour to Middle Head in the distance.
The clients chose the site for the northern aspect, panoramic vistas, and direct access to Sydney Harbour foreshore.
The house appears as an unfolding white form, edged by garden courtyards and green roofs. The interplay of sharp lines, refined detail and radial curves creates a sense of sculptural ease and subtle purity as it engages with the site and harbour foreshore.
Once entered, the house is experienced as a sequence of volumes through mass, concrete and whiteness.
Playful plasticity of form provides thoughtful connections across various spaces and landscaped areas as you transverse through to the living spaces.
Skylights, openings and voids dramatise light and shadow that highlight the refined selection of materials; predominantly concrete, brass and rendered white masonry. The muted palette of materials is a canvas for greenery and artwork to be displayed, encouraging life and character within.
Passive solar heating and cooling is inherent within the design through thoughtful site responsive planning, considered location of openings, external shading devices and thermal mass. A roof top solar array assists to offset electricity demand and rainwater is harvested for use through out the house and around the site.
