Project Description
The site is Located across from Forsyth park having 2 street frontages with views to North Sydney skyline. The site has a deep change of levels between Upper and lower Montpelier street which created complexities and opportunities in creating a 3storey development in a 2storey zone. The Duplex has been carefully designed with 2 separate access points for pedestrian and car accesses with each street view of the duplex presenting as a single house with different character. The lower residence is on 2 levels with all the living areas on a single level connecting visually and physically between 2 external courtyards. The upper Residence has 2.5 levels with large terraces overlooking the park and the North Sydney skyline. The pallet of materials selected reinforces the robustness and strength of the building cutting into and connecting to sandstone base. Large sandstone boulders are used and maintained where possible to connect and integrate the development with the site’s natural features.
