The site lies on a point with views across Sydney Harbour. The fall of
the site has been taken advantage of, allowing the residence achieve
basement carparking + step down in pavilion form. The ground floor
consists of 3 pavilions, linked together. Formal living + an office
reside at the front. Step lead down to a central kitchen + dining room
overlooking the pool. These flow into a casual living area at the rear,
with guest room + wet areas tucked in behind stairs. These stairs lead
up to a private master retreat that captures harbour views. Adjacent to
the front formal living, stairs within a void lead up to another 3 more
bedrooms that address the street. Within a heritage conservation area,
the form and building materials are conservative and recessive in
nature to minimise impact. Dark, neutral tones of painted rendered
masonry create frames + bays. Within these are aluminium screened areas
of glazing to provide privacy and control direct sunlight.
