Peach Tree House
By Castlepeake Architects
The site faces north west on a steep incline to the waterfront with expansive views to Middle Harbour and Castlecrag. The house is arranged in two pavilions stepping down the site amongst mature trees and vegetation. The project required a major reconstruction of the lower living pavilion which is built around prominent trees while opening to take better advantage of the attributes of the site. Timber was used extensively to sit the building harmoniously into its surrounds while creating a simple backdrop for living. Access during construction was a challenge via an inclinator shared with neighbours which resulted in building materials being brought by barge via the harbour.

About the
Professional
Our aim is to design site specific houses that improve the lives of our clients. Well proportioned spaces and forms which closely relate to the attributes of a site are life changing for the people who use them everyday.
Our method is to rigorously and logically analyse each site and brief and to arrange each response in an efficient and artful way. Central to the analysis and response is a thorough understanding of the client and their requirements.
Castlepeake Architects is a small, design focused, Sydney based architectural practice with many years experience in all types of residential architecture including new, altered and heritage houses. Our small size allows director input into every project from initial design to completion on site. We are a close knit and passionate team with a focus on design excellence and client satisfaction.
