Bayrun Rockstar banner

Located on a Sydney harbour foreshore reserve known as the Bay Run, this transformed house shakes off an unambitious rear section, adding a bold new set of living volumes designed to bring light in and project out towards the harbour.

Key to the alterations was the opening up of the rear of the house to take full advantage of views down the Parramatta River. Rooms were doubled in height and given framed harbour views on all sides, with light-filtering angled steel blades for privacy.

The new open-plan interior diverges at two new covered balconies, off the living area and kitchen respectively. They create a poolside entertaining terrace beneath where the infinity-edge pool, set level with the horizon, bridges the gap between the living platform and the river.

About the
Professional

Our work is spatially exciting, playful, and robust, tuned to nature and place. 

Architecture should allow us to feel safe & secure, confident & expressive, quiet & reflective. It should make our lives better.

Our team comes from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, united by a passion for design excellence. Our focus on fostering a supportive, inclusive, well-balanced studio environment earned us the Best In Practice prize at the 2020 NSW Institute of Architects Awards.

Carter Williamson acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we work, the Wangal people of the Eora nation, and the Land on which our projects are sited, including the Gadigal, Guringai, and Cammeraygal peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise the myriad ongoing ways First Nations peoples have cared for and shaped their natural and built environments across thousands of generations.
