This project involved extensive alterations and additions to an existing 1940s free standing house situated on a steep block overlooking Clovelly in New South Wales. For a young family that enjoy cooking and entertaining, the design implemented an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Full height joinery extends and connects these areas and uses a mix of contrasting white polyurethane and natural blackbutt timber veneer to define each of the separate zones. Large sliding doors were installed on the opposite side of the room to visually extend the space to the boundary. Instead of a splashback, a frameless window was introduced along benchtop to allow natural light and views of plants also whilst cooking. The island is the main food preparation and cleaning area. It also functions as a divider to the dining and circulation area and is used for seating at breakfast time and to interact with the cook. To enhance the ‘floating’ effect at night, L.E.D., strip lighting on top and below the joinery is used. Photographer: Michael Nicholson Builder: Easternbuilt Joinery: Adam Standfield Cabinet Making

“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.”
