Exposed bricks — Watershed Architects Projects New Residences, Alterations and Additions, Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Curl Curl 05

A new Northern Beaches residence looking north-easterly over Curl Curl Beach. The living areas connect to both the garden and a large entertaining terrace, oriented to catch the sun, sea breezes and ocean views. The solid, timber clad form of the bedroom level is juxtaposed with the open, glass walled living level below. A lower garage and entry level provides plenty of storage and utility areas.

Manly 12

A bespoke family home on a long site that steps down to a North-facing garden. A courtyard introduces light into the heart of the living spaces. The rear living pavilion is constructed using bricks salvaged from demolition of the original cottage to bring texture, thermal mass and a connection to the history of the site.

Roseville 01

This transformation of a traditional home on Sydney’s North Shore, involved reconfiguration of the existing home, demolition of rear extensions and the addition of a modern living pavilion. The pavilion features a high ceiling with clerestory glazing and large sliding doors opening out to a north-facing deck. The orientation ensures optimal shade in summer and sun access in winter.
