ALTERATIONS + ADDITIONS A project with an interesting brief to create a large family home with the potential to become two separate dwellings sometime in the future. The original building has been substantially altered, creating a three level home that looks south over Sydney Harbour while having a wide north-facing frontage. A central void with staircase and clerestory glazing brings natural light and ventilation into the centre of the floor plan. Sunlight and privacy is controlled by external blinds, timber screens and large eaves that also give shadow and relief to the building form.

“It was a privilege to work with Watershed Architects in the creation of our home which has turned out above and beyond everything we hoped and dreamed it would be. Every corner, nook and cranny has been so well designed and thought through and we love living life in this beautiful home. The past two and half years have been an incredible experience; we have learnt so much about architecture, design and building. We appreciated all the support, inspiration and encouragement from Mark and Nikki along the way. Nikki was super organised and available to take my many phone calls and answer my many questions and did it all with a smile - every time! Mark offered us guidance and inspiration and was a problem solver supreme… we appreciated all the early morning treks over the Spit Bridge for site meetings. We will miss the energy, the journey and the fun of it all. Mark - I know you said give it a few years and then do it again - I never say never but I can say that if we were to go again, it would be Watershed all the way!”
