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

Mosman 02

Conceived as two interlocking boxes, the lower level is rendered white and punctuated with large black anodised windows while the zinc clad upper level is set back. Operable exterior venetian blinds are used for solar control to large areas of glass. The zinc cladding contrasts the crisp white forms of the front façade and frames the building, creating a balanced proportion. This project was an opportunity to develop a different aesthetic for Watershed Design as the original concept was designed by renowned commercial architecture firm fitzpatrick + partners. The original DA was modified and the result is this clean and contemporary home.

Manly 11

The design is generated by the site context, offering privacy while maximising the connection and appreciation of the harbour front locale. Durable materials such as zinc, fibre cement cladding and sandstone are practical and give texture and interest to the building form.

Carringbah 01

A major refurbishment of a waterside home in Sydney’s South. The project involved extensive modification of the original structure to create a contemporary family home, including landscaping, seamless indoor and outdoor living areas, detailed joinery and interior design.

Manly 09

A four bedroom family home on a sloping narrow site, using passive solar design principles to maximise light, keep warm in winter, cool in summer and provide plenty of cross ventilation. Hard wearing materials including a steel frame, polished concrete floors, plywood and fibre cement cladding give a robust aesthetic, achieved on a limited budget.

Avalon 01

A major rebuild and refurbishment of a waterside home in Sydney’s Pittwater. The project involved extensive modification of the original structure using recycled Australian hardwood, Sydney Sandstone and off form concrete, detailed joinery and interior design.

Collaroy 01

A courtyard residence with sweeping ocean views, planned to function over a single level with guest rooms on an upper storey. The courtyard plan creates privacy while maximising the northern aspect and views to the east.
