INSPIRATIONAL ARCHITECTURE & INTERIORS
There was a small 60’s style house on
the site with multiple floor level changes
making it impossible to salvage.
The street level entrance hall is a dramatic,
triple volume vertical gallery like space
and provides a counterpoint to the living
spaces on the levels above. The main
Living level is reached by stair or glass
lift which also goes directly to the Master
Bedroom suite located on the upper
most level. This Master Bedroom floats
over into the double volume Living space
with a striking soft s-curve cantilever.
It is screened off from the Living Room
double volume by a set of adjustable
walnut shutters.
The double volume Living level space is
positioned on the second upper level
connect the garden court to the east, the
rear of the site and the mountain. This
level enjoys 270 degree views from Lion’s
Head at the rear to the Bantry Bay ridge
on the North and the dramatic sea views
over the Clifton beaches to the West.
This double sided space is then able to
have a wind free external space and
reduces the heat load from the setting sun
in the west by taking advantage of natural
ventilation across the space.
