Twin Peaks

Project Year: 2015
Country: Australia
Elizabethan leadlight windows are guarding the new entry. Alternate sandstone courses to the front wall rise to the vaulted zinc roof awning over the door. The same new sandstone wall continues to the garage door on the far left. The only additions here are the entry roof and the stone wall.

On the opposite side, the house tumbles down on the steep topography. A 1980s wing has been transformed with fluid eaves and new balconies. The pre-existing 1970s swimming pool contributes to the eclectic architectural landscape.
Twin Peaks
The stair atrium was achieved by infilling a courtyard. The atrium links the lower ground floor living spaces to the first floor bedrooms and the attic level. Veiled behind the terracotta half pipe screens is the hallway running between the bedrooms.

A skylight reflects the elliptical shape of the central cut out of the stair. The terracotta screens have been constructed with off-the-shelf half pipe, stacked and painted, resulting in a fish scale pattern that is also present in the zinc garage door and gate cladding.

The stair rises from the entry to the bedroom level and winds up to the attic. The simple blacksteel balustrade design was embellished to satisfy the required feminine touch.
Twin Peaks
Masterfully built by GNC Constructions, this stair is a “tour de force”.
Twin Peaks
Absorbing landings and changes of direction, the balustrade was carefully designed to provide a continuous flowing line.

A small archway leads to the laundry and cellar.

Through this archway the stair pierces the old courtyard wall and enters the attic space.

This unusual window was inserted into the pre-existing shape of the gable and a generous attic room was reclaimed from the vast roof space.

Double Bay, with Point Piper on the opposite shore. On the right one can discern the Woollahra Council offices, the only council offices in Sydney to have its own beach.

Plain steel windows and steel reinforced eaves differentiate the more recent wing from the original Queen Anne house. Natural white and charcoal black colours are a neutral backdrop for Bougainvillea and the blue of Sydney Harbour.

Fred & Ginger pencil lines are dancing with the Double Bay backdrop. The stone floor is a dense Spanish sandstone.

The All Metal Products supplied fine steel windows. The challenge for the builder was to match the curve of the existing archway to the window frames, manufactured in Italy.

Coco Chanel and Elizabeth Taylor bookend this bay window, and they could have sat comfortably together in this “Swedish Blue” nook.

Ribbed glass in steel doors lets the light into the kitchen pantry. The Carrara marble of the benchtop is a timeless material.

The joyful interiors of Stephanie Conley have scoured the world for elegant furniture and artworks.

Sydney Joinery installed the Cellar Rack wine storage system. Some red was added to this black and white colour scheme.
Twin Peaks
Intertwining the old and the new the main theme of this renovation to achieve continuity and a coherent unison.
