Righting the wrongs of previous attempts to modernise this substantial terrace resulted in a commission that included both conservation and imagination. The front facade was restored back to its original glory with arched windows and a laser cut interpretation of the original lacework, whilst the rear family room and bedrooms was designed to reflect current attitudes towards inside and outside living spaces. Built by GNC Quality, landscape by Therese McGroder.

Beneath the metal clad whale watching roof terrace and behind the fluid curves of the timber facade, a practical four bedroom home has been designed to access both the sun in one direction and the views in another. A clever structural solution by D’Ambrosio Consultants (Structural Engineers) for the sandy site influenced the design as did a collaborative relationship with the Builder (GNC Quality) prior to the documentation of the building. Zinc cladding by ARC and landscape by Therese McGroder.

Perched on a steep cliff overlooking Palm Beach, this hexagonal house is a distinctive landmark. Originally built circa 1980 by architect Stan Symonds, it has undergone two extensions by Connor + Solomon Architects. With the latest extension, the existing external concrete columns supporting the whole building were re-imagined, enveloped into the building by the new lower living level. This casual living area opens out onto a terrace, with an uninterrupted view of the ocean. The expansive glass doors provide a seamless connection between inside and out and the copper ceiling a striking feature. Alpine Constructions.
