BRONTE

HOUSE #2

Awarded as winner of the 2020 Master Builders Association of NSW Excellence in Housing Awards for contract houses, price range of $5-7M, and winner of best use of glass.  This recently completed project is the ultimate Sydney beach house located in a prime position overlooking Bronte and Tamarama beaches. 

​

This project involved a very complex demolition of the existing house which was elevated from the street on a steep site.  Once the existing house was demolished the rock excavation began, with approximately 1500m3 of rock removed.

​

​From the street this residence is a commanding four level structure, built predominantly in concrete and masonry. The lower ground and ground floors of the house feature sandstone and rammed earth walls. 

​

The lift shaft was constructed out of glass blocks which were a challenge to work with.  The structural steel had to be set out to work to brick courses as the glass blocks cannot be cut. Surrounding the lift shaft over the 4 levels is a steel frame staircase with glass treads.
