Bow House, Manly

Completed: 2008

Luxury like a Four Seasons hotel...

You'll find this abode perched on the low side of Bower Street in Manly overlooking beautiful Shelly Beach. This new contemporary home enjoys bright sunshine and panoramic beach and ocean views.

Local planning controls called for the house to sit below the crown of the road. Consequently, special attention was given to the roof design and the front entry. We ended up with a 'fifth facade' of subtle level and materials changes, which helps to generate visual interest from street level.

Internally this home has all the luxuries you could expect of a 5 star hotel with suites enjoying individual balconies and ensuites. The outdoor terraces and alfresco areas are perfect for entertaining and the semi-circular wet edge pool has enough c-bus lighting to brighten up an pool party.

"It took more the 400 drawings to complete all the details..."
- Adam Pressley, architect

About the
Professional

Homes are our Specialty.

I'm an architect that loves homes. Homes are my passion and where we've specialised for the last 20 years in Sydney. I don't have a style, I don't need one, because it's not about me, it's all about you, your family, your dreams and your home.

I have a small professional team and access to some of the best builders in Sydney. Together we know how to get a project through DA or Complying Development or both.

Our passion is to create a home our clients love, right down to the interior fit-out, lighting, colours and materials. Bespoke and individual, stylish and classic, or just the way you want it.

We listen to what you want so that your home is designed to suit your life.

See your vision come alive early in the process with our detailed 3D design modelling. When our clients can explore their home on a computer or tablet, we find our clients can move the process forward more quickly and with greater confidence.

To better manage your budget, we built an online building cost calculator, which anyone can use. It's detailed but quick and straightforward and is a great way to start the design process and update the costing as you go.

Partial + Full Service Architects.

We offer the full range of services - pre-purchase advice, feasibility, concept design, approvals, interior & lighting design, tender documentation, source builders, site works, all on hourly rates with estimates). We do not use percentage fees, so our scope of work is as flexible as you need it to be.

You can use us for every stage of the process, or not, it's up to you. We are available as you need us.

I'm personally involved in every project. I love the challenging jobs, the problematic sites, and looking for ways to give you more than you're allowed.

We love sustainable / energy-efficient/ passive solar, design for bushfire, traditional style, Hampton's, Georgian, Contemporary, Minimalist Balinese, P&O, and simple beach house style homes.
