North Bondi Residence:

Room To A View

The remodelling of an existing brick house to create a set of interconnected living areas on the ground floor that open to the garden beyond, with a private second storey addition opening onto its own elevated garden.

Project Story

The existing pitched roof and eaves were removed to reveal the orthogonal brick shell of the house. A new first floor addition is installed as an elongated box that opens onto a new roof garden along the entire northern side.

A bedroom is placed at each end to capture views of the harbour skyline to the west, and Bondi Beach to the south. A central void creates a light-filled living room in the centre of the house. The new rooftop garden significantly expands the landscaped area of the site, while providing additional thermal insulation to the bedrooms below.
