Ocean front — Watershed Architects Projects New Residences, Alterations and Additions, Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Curl Curl 03

This cliff-top home overlooking the ocean was completely redesigned to improve circulation, natural light and ventilation, creating a fully updated, contemporary home. From the street a new carport and entry provide access to the top level. New kitchen and living spaces on this level have a breathtaking ocean panorama. A new staircase through the centre of the home links all three levels with the void introducing light into the centre of the building. New windows, screens and terraces are composed to capitalise on the views while maintaining privacy and offering sun and weather protection.

Queenscliff 07

A large family home over three levels, stepping down a cliff top site overlooking Freshwater Beach to the north. The home was designed to take advantage of the stunning location while providing a private sanctuary for the owners and their young family. Timber and sandstone used throughout the design visually anchor the building to the cliff. Moving through the home, the plan opens up to the north with indoor-outdoor living areas and large windows that give a feeling of floating above the ocean. Retractable blinds, an operable louvre roof and sliding screens to the main terrace provide sun control and the ability to create a comfortable environment year round.
