Pacific House

Residential

Sydney, Australia

Land

Gadigal

Type

Residential

Completion

2021

Size

550 sqm

Pacific House is an alteration and addition to an existing 1990’s concrete framed cliffside dwelling, now transformed into a materially rich and performative five-bedroom family home.

The design vernacular is inspired by the practicalities of family life and the ocean adjacency. Instilling new life into the substantial structure included a fundamental reorientation and bifurcation of the plan – the kitchen and garden with a pool for meals, swimming and play while the other side speaks to the adults and the contemplation of ocean views.

The house is a combination of contemporary and neo-classicism but retains its youthfulness. P&O inspired curvatures and facades are white and textural while the natural landscape forms the foundations of material storytelling. The building is brought to life as a highly finished home which considers its view and its garden with equal care.

"We love the materiality - the stucco walls, steel frame arches, marble portals, crazy paver floors - all the special design details and materials that tell a very personal, unique story of what it means to be our home."
