Description from Chris Elliott Architects:
“The ground floor is conceptually a transparent platform. Nature is welcomed in and not excluded. It is ordered by a series of columns and defined by strong walls only exactly where needed. Glass runs along, about and above the robust components although huge sliding and pivoting glass doors open to outside.
The basement level is conceived as a grotto combining water, rock and light. The strong sandstone foundation stone is carved away to produce space. Rather than remove all material as is typically finished, in a selection of locations it is left to invade the room hence connecting in an intimate way the house to the actually essence of Sydney – its sandstone base. Water occurs at distinct amounts – a pool, a shallow reflecting pool with bridge and an outside bath. At occasions strong shafts of light penetrate the spaces, as by implies of rock fissures in a cave. At other events when light ranges are lower sturdy colors support to build warmth and atmosphere.
The bedroom degree, a lengthy linear box is conceptually a protective cocoon, delivering comfort and privacy with glimpses out via a selection of openings, with the selection of a single or two layers of curtains-the initial opaque, and the 2nd a translucent veil. On the outdoors the surface of the box is enlivened with series of curvilinear light scoops. These allow light in and provide selective views out, this kind of as a see of the sky when lying in the bath.
At the roof degree, conceived as a belvedere or lookout, a examine opens onto a modest deck. Right right here your journey ends with a panoramic outlook over the ocean. A personal sundeck with constructed in timber seating and a fireplace offers a comfy spot to contemplate the ocean and the stars at night.”
