Cremorne Road

This project involved a major renovation of a Heritage building in Cremorne Point. The design - while providing a light and contemporary new addition to the rear of the house - nevertheless focussed on respecting and preserving the many period features of the original building. The concept was to preserve the front of the building but insert a modern two-storey addition to the rear which reached inside the heritage envelope. The new addition comprises a large open-plan kitchen, living and breakfast area, which opens onto a sunny, east-facing courtyard. On the second floor are the study and two bedrooms housed within the existing shell, while the new section contains a slick, contemporary bathroom and the master-suite, with its own ensuite, dressing room, storage wall with integrated bar fridge and bi-folding glass doors that open to a deck with views over Mosman Bay. The elements of the design are classic and refined in their expression, which produces a comfortable juxtaposition of the original features with the new.
