Urban Function Architecture

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.
