The home steps down from the street to a main kitchen/dining/living area on the ground floor which opens out to a large, private, and fully landscaped section.

Retaining the diagramatic layout principles of the original home, the new build features a series of high performance large format sliding doors sitting outside a steel frame, orientated north with a panoramic view of the harbour.

A new courtyard area to the east will provide shelter as well as a social focal point complete with outdoor fire and integrated bbq and carefully positioned moveable screens to shelter from prevailing winds.

Upstairs, the home will incorporate a new garage and master bedroom/ensuite. Larger bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and storage areas will enjoy expansive views to the harbour and city beyond.

Externally, the home will present as a simplified version of its former self, with a large sweeping low pitch gable offset at alternate pitches; inspiration taken from the surrounding hills.

The building’s low profile will be clad in cedar providing an elegant sweeping form that weathers seamlessly into the landscape.

Metal work and edge details will be carefully crafted to ensure this building is of the highest quality.
