Nestled into an existing escarpment overlooking Balmoral beach, the site offers expansive views to the heads and Manly.

The invited competition brief called for 3 luxury apartments. An elongated incision along the existing entryway bridges a series of water elements connecting to a light filled pond below. A central shardlike stair connects to each individual apartment, with internal lift access to carparking zones. Living and main bedroom areas benefit from north-east facing terraces with secondary bedrooms and media rooms opening onto private terraces or gardens. The penthouse apartment opens entirely onto a private green roof terrace

Office Profile

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.

Fox Johnston is a design and ideas-driven practice based in Sydney, Australia. The practice offers an experiential and holistic approach to design by integrating landscape and architecture to create compelling and thought-provoking places.
