The Water House - Alterations and additions

Rushcutters Bay, NSW

A radically transformed terrace with layers of natural light 

A beautiful heritage terrace maintains its elegant front rooms but is also gutted to create a translucent, indirect and directly lit, magnificently spacious interior. Vertically-stacked glazed bathrooms borrow sky-light, and every floor is opened and extended spatially. The ground floor flows to a black grotto pool - think Samuel Beckett meets Borromini across an entertainment courtyard.
