Woollahra Residence

This significant renovation of the 1860s built cottage in John Street Woollahra involves the demolition of a 1970s built extension, and construction of a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom residence with central and rear courtyards whilst retaining and refurbishing the original cottage. Extensive living areas on the lower ground floor connect directly to courtyards on all sides whilst bedrooms overlook the floor above. The completed project will include Danish face brick facades with steel detailing, highly energy efficient windows, natural stone and oak timber flooring plus extensive use of oak veneer to joinery including complex curve detailing. The result clearly makes his mark in the street. Photography: John Guthrie
