Long House, Seaforth

Completed: 2016

Would you build over a cliff?

You'd never notice looking from the street, but this new contemporary home is perched on a cliff that runs diagonally across the middle of the block.

Having seen one of our other Seaforth homes, our clients wanted to explore a contemporary design with horizontal lines that make the most of the block-wide frontage.

We set the build as far back as possible to maximise north-facing space for a pool and outdoor recreation. Hidden on the roof are the clerestory windows that create higher ceilings and light up the south room with natural sunlight.

"Our neighbours made the DA process into a circus, but Adam worked hard to get the design through Manly council." - Ron Thompson

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.
