A Massachusetts style home in Point Piper, looking over Rose Bay and the Northern Side of the Sydney Harbour headlands.

​

The house, designed by a Scottish architect was in need to be restored, especially the steep slate roof, the shingle cladding and barge boards.

​

Additionally, an internal reconsideration of the spaces in a sympathetic way with today’s family was also crucial to make use of the available interior space, the views and the surrounding gardens and sandstone cliffs.

​

Some other improvements and amenities came into the wish list: such a semi indoor pool, a granny flat to increase rental income,  a new double garage, and the normalisation of the garden areas to improve access and presence onto the street.

​

The ultimate constraint was to determine the scope of the works so planning, design and financing were reachable to our client.
