A transformation of a outdated 1970’s red brick home into an elegant modern and highly considered home that makes the most of its spectacular waterfront location.
Like most waterfront properties the site naturally had many challenges. The home tightly follows the sites steep slopping contour, tiering downwards from street level to middle harbour. Overcoming these logistical and engineering challenges through the build was part of the enjoyment of such a large project.
This build focuses on balance and restraint of materials. A modern contemporary home with an emphasis on quality and technique. The generous proportions of the home now embrace the feature aspect of the magnificent harbour views.
Generously proportioned bold black framed windows picture frame and enhance the waterfront views whilst contrasting against a mostly white and grey palette.
The use of black works seamlessly with the sophisticated accents of the living and lounge room joinery.
“A palette of materials executed with consideration of detail and balance”
A monochrome kitchen of contrasting tones as well as textures. The matt black timber joinery and playful forms of the polished bench top work together to create this modern kitchen space.
Australian Blackbutt timber detailing and the use of sandstone brings a textural element and natural warmth to the mostly monochrome interior.
The two elegant bathrooms stay true to the disciplined colour palette of the rest of the home. Cool greys of the stone are used alongside the timber joinery adding a touch of warmth to the bathrooms. The curved wall reflects the old details of the house and brings soft organic forms to the new modern bathroom. Custom made curved glass shower screens enhance the organic forms of the walls.
A major consideration of this build was the design and material selection of the roof structure. With such a steep block descending from the street level down to the house the roof is seen from all angles so it had to executed perfectly.
We selected the high end material Nailstrip Steel Roofing panels in over large sheeting. Each panel length was custom made and individually crimped together by hand.
