Watershed Architects Projects New Residences, Alterations and Additions, Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Collaroy 02

A major transformation to connect and enlarge living areas, create functional outdoor terraces and revitalise all areas of this large family home. Existing brickwork was rendered, new windows were installed throughout, including large sliding doors to connect the kitchen to the adjoining terrace with new operable roof. Elsewhere outdoor entertaining areas include retractable blinds in steel frames to create comfortable living spaces.

Manly 13

A major renovation to an existing home on a narrow site in Manly. Living spaces were reworked for better functional arrangement and to bring northern light into the deep floor plan. Pop-outs to the front and side of the garage create additional storage and give modulation to the new street facade. A built-in bench seat allows a kitchen and dining area to fit into a four meter wide room.

Roseville 01

This transformation of a traditional home on Sydney’s North Shore, involved reconfiguration of the existing home, demolition of rear extensions and the addition of a modern living pavilion. The pavilion features a high ceiling with clerestory glazing and large sliding doors opening out to a north-facing deck. The orientation ensures optimal shade in summer and sun access in winter.

Mosman 03

A transformation to a traditional villa with a two storey height addition to the rear, allowing sunlight to fill new ground floor living areas and main bedroom suite above. A polished concrete floor is durable and practical in this family home, while windows, doors and expressed framing from Australian hardwood create warmth and scale.
