Selected Project

Freemans Bay House

The house sits on a tight urban site with calmness and delicacy amongst its neighbours. A slim horizontal roof hovers over a section of dark stained louvres, filtering privacy and providing a sense of intrigue and elegance. An east facing courtyard, containing a pool and decks, which slide over a simple zen garden, allows beautifully sequenced and layered views through the house and diagonally out to the city. This is a special house, it invites exploration and there are surprises and magical moments at every turn. Its robust concrete body is offset by the delicacy of its wood-lined floating roof and beautifully considered joinery, all of which form a perfect complement to the owners’ furniture and art.
