Northern Beaches Council

In collaboration with Squillace Architects

This project was for an addition and alteration to a house where the firm had previously done major renovations. The project revolved around two key area that required upgrades.

The first being relocating the garage, and creating a new entertaining area and surfboard storage/ shower room. This was located on Bower St, and we where required to do an indepth street study as to demonstraight that the proposal was within the existing character.

The second was creating a new pool area to replace the more dated design. We took this oportunity to better utilise the existing lower terrace, by adding a spa area that would sit within a man-made ‘Grotto’. This was designed to feel as natural as possible, with uninterupted views to the ocean. However there was still the requiment to ensure that the Endangered Long-nosed Bandicoot Habitat that runs along the forshore was protected and the planting was designed to complement this.
