Coogee

Positioned above Gordons Bay in Coogee, we transformed an original 1920s cottage into a highly resolved five-bedroom architectural home. Built on the existing sandstone foundations, the project involved extensive piling, excavation and structural works to create an expanded two-storey residence and high-clearance double garage.

Major alterations and additions, including piling, excavation and construction of a double garage.

A 3.6-metre Calacatta quartz island anchors the main living space, complemented by floor-to-ceiling custom joinery and a refined palette of polished concrete, exposed brick and natural stone.
