Project Overview

The final design included a master bedroom with ensuite and dressing room and an additional three double bedrooms, one with ensuite, all fully carpeted with built-in-wardrobes. The lounge/dining room overlooks part of Middle Harbour and family room leads onto an open terrace on one side and kitchen on the other side. Main bathroom with spa bath and two ensuites, fully-carpeted study and laundry, both with direct access to a private courtyard, games/rumpus room with cellar, interlinked garage and house security system, two car automatic garage, two large and two smaller terraces, all with bush and water views, private courtyard and solar heated swimming pool. Good quality stereo speakers and wiring has been fitted in all main living rooms and master bedroom for direct connection to a stereo unit located in the family room.

Overall, the northerly positioning of the house balconies and pool is designed to maximise usage of both sun and air, in both the hotter summer and cooler winter months. All main rooms have captured a feeling of spaciousness, due to the amount of light and views obtained.

Judges’ Comments

“These additions and alterations have a majestic sense of scale. From the grand entry presentation, with dramatic spatial relationshops of progression, horizontally and vertically culminating in wide, sweeping decks at all levels, oriented to the spectacular water view. The integration of the new work with the existing structure has been meticulously handled in an expensive, but highly meritorious, result.”
