97W - Project Phoenix

Rising sunwards on a dazzling harbour site to offer contemporary family living, “Project Phoenix” is the rebirth of a 1950’s modernist guest house and where the native landscaping enters the home.
Key principles driving the design were to exploit and expand on the spatial qualities of the original house. A new circulation system was developed to negotiate the 5.4m fall across the site, and the 4 levels of the building. The entry and two internal stairs were relocated to improve circulation and render access to private sleeping and guest room areas.
The double-height living space at the core of the 1950’s house was highly valued by the client and architect alike; its proportion and location showcasing the unique outlook and ideal northern orientation. Engagement with this living space has been augmented by the inclusion of a 9m x 3m high Swiss descending window making “inside” “outside”; connecting the entertaining terrace to new lawn areas, gardens and the terrace below.
