wharf road HOUSE

Design Development

Significant works to a unique harbour front property in Birchgrove, adapting a commercial boat shed and slipway.

A new double height entertaining space is positioned at the habour level with a brass patina screen enveloping the glazed openings.

A new swimming pool is positioned over the existing slipway with a glass bottom to reveal the slipway rails below.

Sculptural metalwork to the spiral stair as well as the front and rear facade provide a refined articulation to the structures.

2 central voids in the house provide natural light and ventilation to the deeper spaces of the floor plan which is critical in the terrace house form.
