Balgowlah Residence, Sydney
Balgowlah Residence, Sydney
Since the inception of our Melbourne office, we have enjoyed working in Sydney, and this connection has only strengthened over the years. The Balgowlah Residence marked the first of our Sydney projects undertaken by our Byron Bay office.
The resulting building is a multi-level structure that adeptly navigates a steeply sloping site with views over one of Sydney harbour’s iconic beaches.
The slope was vertically excavated to accommodate the building program, creating a spacious elevated terrace with a large garden and pool overlooking the harbour, replacing the former ‘goat track’ that previously led occupants down to the beach.
The design addresses the needs of the client’s large family, with each level arranged to provide functional spaces that meet individual requirements in an efficient layout.
Detailed in concrete and Spanish limestone, the house features a central light well that allows natural light and fresh air to permeate the rooms, despite its positioning against a cliff face.
