Bushland House banner

Designed for a young family of four, this house is nestled on the western side of Middle Harbour amongst Sydney’s abundant bushland. The addition builds upon the bones of the previous double brick structure, culminating in a warm and contemporary design that better meets the needs of the family.   

Large living spaces are oriented to capture light and air from the north, whilst generous balconies encourage entertaining and dining to spill to the outdoors. In all directions, the family is able to enjoy the outdoors and Sydney’s unique landscape through both views and a close interrelation between indoor and outdoor spaces. There is a place for everyone in the family, be it the pool for swimming and playing, the tranquil study for deep focus, or the family room for convivial festivities.  

Our Lab was responsible for the design and documentation and of this property, ensuring that this family’s dream home can be made a reality.

About the
Professional

Spiral Architects Lab is an award-winning practice aiming to make built environments better through modular design, prefabrication, and mass-timber. 

Our ability to provide elegant and sustainable architecture is spearheaded by a small, dedicated, and diverse team. Our two architectural directors have a combined experience of over 30 years. Where needed, our marketing and business strategist is also at your disposal to help you craft a comprehensive go-to-market sales plan.

All our projects receive end-to-end director-level attention which enables us to develop efficient and creative design solutions that drive strong results for your investment. We specialise in creating spaces out of material extremely popular in European architecture: Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). CLT is one of the fastest ways to build a home, delivering a high-quality and ecologically sustainable build.

Spiral Architects Lab is a collaborative team: we view the client’s needs and wants as an integral part of our approach. Our methodology ensures that the project’s scope and ambition is balanced with budget requirements and best design practice. We place heavy emphasis on keeping the client informed of the project’s progression. We ensure you have a range of design options to choose from and explain how these options will have a varying effect on the proposed development.
