Text description provided by the architects. This renovation of a 1950's brick bungalow is all about the connection to its wonderful location. On the foothills of the Illawarra escarpment south of Sydney, this home enjoys a wonderful view of these layered cliffs and an easterly outlook over the Tasman. An analysis of the original home revealed an opportunity for it to be reimagined as a private haven, with its brick structure suited to house more enclosed, intimate spaces; while a new north-facing pavilion connected to the vast garden contains the new living areas. Sustainability underpins this project since the reuse of buildings is inherently more resource-sensitive than their demolition, and important in the context of sustainable living.
