McMahons Point Residence #1 / Sydney
2003
Refurbishment of an existing Heritage Item with contemporary additions at the rear which, as a completed entity, achieves a powerful contrast between new & old.
The solution provides a new arched garage opening in the sandstone frontage premised upon the proportions of the existing residence which accommodates 6 vehicles.
A new glazed pavilion constructed at the rear is oriented toward the Opera House & Harbour Bridge while a new light-filled courtyard entertainment area acts as the fulcrum between all the spatial volumes.
