A stunning architectural design featuring a 2-storey bedroom volume and a 3-storey living suite, connected by a curved roof, maximizing views of Gordon Bay while providing a sunlit internal courtyard for circulation and ventilation.

The Project is divided into 3 main parts: a 2-storey bedroom volume and a 3-storey living/principal suite volume, with a connecting curved roof acting as a shelter internal courtyard. The offset of volumes allows views over Gordon Bay from most rooms. The ‘internal’ courtyard forms the circulation space and allows northern sun and ventilation into the south-facing building. The material and colour palette is simple and robust with off-form concrete benchtops and benches, limestone floors, white walls and joinery, and the corrugated metal curved roof. Splashes of colour come in from the natural environment, the bay below and the clients’ artworks.

Professional Reviews

1 / 6

“I engaged Erik Rudolfsson and his team of architects after a competitive design process with three architectural firms to work with me to design a complex redevelopment of my property in Vaucluse. Erik and his team did outstanding conceptual and detailed design work over many months to bring to life my vision for the property. The dedication, commitment to the task, and attention to detail they showed was incredible. They also oversaw the difficult build process, managed the interface with the builder and engineer very well and have continued to be responsive well after the initial project was completed. Erik’s professionalism and depth of knowledge and understanding of the intricate details of real-world construction techniques has been a key component in solving the numerous issues that arose as a matter-of-course during the construction, and in making the project successful. We have now worked together on aspects of this project for over three years and I would not hesitate to give RAAa my highest recommendation.”
