Being Sydney based, our clients required a home away from home, in close geographical proximity to an elder parent. The home is intended to feel like a luxurious getaway from busy city life but also function as a remote office so city life can be still connected when required.

With beautiful views across McCormacks bay, the estuary towards the Southshore spit and the ocean. We were asked to find a way to connect every room to the outside, frame the views yet have the ability to shelter from the prevailing Easterly wind that hits the site head on.

The home was required to be maintenance free, have a timeless aesthetic and tip toe around the cliff collapse zones at the base of the site.

About the
Professional

Urbanfunction is a design collaborative based in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand that draws on a range of skill and experience to deliver a diverse range of residential and commercial architectural projects both at home in beautiful Aotearoa and internationally.

Design director Aaron Jones formed both zerobag and urbanfunction on his return from years of working abroad in Melbourne and London.

With 20 years experience in the industry, Aaron draws on a range of global experience. From technical detailing and construction in stadium building to design, detailing and marketing of high end residential and commercial projects for both client and developer. 

The importance of Architecture and design within society, we believe is everything. As space, light and visual context affect mood and function within ourselves and those around us, it is critical we live within well considered environments. Considered not only for the purpose of which a building or product is to function but also to it's own environment and surroundings. This forms part of the core philosophy as to how we approach design.
