Mosman – Sydney Harbour Views
PROJECTS / Heritage
Project Description
This quintessential Mosman Federation home is located in a prominent position within the Bradley’s Head Conservation Area. The mostly intact and original home had spectacular views towards the harbour bridge, however due to an unprotected western orientation the penetrating heat and glare was unbearable from midday. It was important for the new additions to be sympathetic to the existing building but equally respectful of the harbour views enjoyed by the homes surrounding neighbours. The home was cleverly modified to convert some of the existing redundant floor area into expansive covered balconies, to shield the western sun and clever internal planning now enables the occupants to enjoy their panoramic harbour vista all year round. The homes interior and exterior was significantly restored and revitalised, to make the home more spacious and to ensure high quality interior inclusions were reflected and achieved in the overall design. You can view this project in more detail in our Case Studies.
