Located right in the heart of Sorrento’s historical main street, Collins Quarters is a mixed-use project where we partnered with the existing landowner, the local pharmacist.  Our brief was to double the floor area of the pharmacy and make use of the space above given the good opportunities for rear lane vehicle access.  In all six, dwellings were created behind the limestone pillar first level street facade punctuated by a series of operable timber batten screens.

“I cannot recommend Wolveridge Architects highly enough. Fully alive to the brief from the outset, Jerry worked collaboratively to present us with ideas that took us way beyond our original imaginings. Working within the tight constraints of both limited space and a heritage protected house, Jerry delivered a seamless melding of both old and new that magically accentuates the best of both. The overall design is masterful. The in situ concrete table is, quite simply, incredible and a genius response to our very first discussion. The small details - a floating concrete step; an exposed, internal section of nineteenth century brickwork (to name but two of many) are testament to the considered and inspired thinking. The project was managed brilliantly by Brett and the rest of the team and executed with minimal fuss and to the highest standards. Every question and concern was responded to thoughtfully and with an eye on the budget. The result is stunning. it is a beautiful space to live in. It is a beautiful home.”
