Birchgrove Residence

Through the Looking Glass

Major replanning and an extension was required for this four level Victorian terrace in Sydney’s historic suburb of Birchgrove. Situated on a deep waterfront block on Sydney Harbour, the current house does not take full advantage of its fantastic northerly aspect and water views.

Whilst respecting the heritage fabric, the new proposal introduces more contemporary spaces that elevate everyday living.  Two north facing spaces contains the main and casual living areas, designed to delicately balance the idea of looking outward to beautiful views, but curating interiors that offer privacy and a sense of retreat. 

The interiors address both contemporary and heritage architecture.  Unified by strong geometric planning, the new spaces are balanced with a soft palette of natural and sustainable finishes as well as decorative and whimsical elements.

Birchgrove Residence is situated on Gadigal and Wangal Land and is currently in Development Application
