Projecting from a cliff face overlooking Chinaman’s Beach, this project is significant due its complex site constraints.
The building takes the form of a series of platforms at base level, with two distinct volumes connected via an open courtyard / sun catch above. Access to the site is via a proposed extended roadway from street level leading to a stair circulation volume. This volume provides both a viewing platform and a connection to lower levels. Living and kitchen areas are at this first level, with sleeping areas below. A pool bounds the lower level bedroom wing with all bedrooms benefiting from large decks and terraces.

Fox Johnston is a young Sydney-based architecture & design practice that combines an intelligent, pragmatic response to each client’s brief with a thorough understanding of the opportunities created by site and context.
We work across a range of projects, from large private houses to adaptive re-use of heritage buildings to major multi-residential projects.
Our work is driven by a passion for light, space, natural materials and finely crafted living spaces, coupled with an acute awareness of the sustainability challenges facing the built environment today.
The practice specialises in creating well-resolved, light-filled, tactile and thought-provoking buildings – both single houses and multi-residential projects – for people to live work & play in. Living in a Fox Johnston-designed building is the perfect antidote to the stresses of today’s complex & challenging world.
