Designed to relate to a challenging site, the house is split into two double storey pavilions linked by a split level circulation zone. The higher pavilion contains living areas while the lower contains bedrooms. The main living area opens completely on two sides to take in north easterly views towards Manly. Materials of stone, board and timber are evocative of a modern beachhouse while materials from the demolished house including sandstone and brickwork were recycled for some of the structure which was exposed at the lower level of the house. A drainage easement, a sewer main, an awkward cross fall and limited access at the end of a cul-d-sac provided challenges. Builder Construct By Design Photographer Neil Fenelon

“It seemed to be that every time we came across a house renovation we particularly admired, it had been designed by Castlepeake. When it was time for us to renovate, we had no hesitation in getting them involved. They understood our brief and developed innovative floor plans that increased light penetration whilst keeping within the building footprint. Castlepeake were also happy for us (first time renovators) to be a part of the design process and bring our personalities into the build. Our century old Californian bungalow received a well-deserved makeover with the perfect blend of modern and old. The team at Castlepeake assisted every step of the way from concept, detailed design phase to construction and completion.”
