a masterful adaptation of a classic cottage
The award-winning redesign of this early 1900s worker's cottage by acclaimed architect David Boyle has resulted in a masterful adaptation of a classic that delivers a dynamic sense of light and space with a raw and robust beauty. Immaculately crafted to bring in the northerly sunshine, a creative response to the site features a series of interlinked spaces with the living room featuring dramatic 4.3-meter-high ceilings and the upper level devoted to a mezzanine-style retreat. Recycled brick serves as the hero of the design by unifying indoor and outdoor living spaces with a soaring palm tree as a striking focal point. Winner of the NSW Australian Institute of Architects Award in 2015 and featured in numerous design and architectural journals, the three-bedroom home's imaginative layout affords remarkable flexibility of space while its location is perfect for an easy 450m walk up to Bondi Junction's retail precinct and 800m to Queens Park and Centennial Park's wide open spaces, nature trails and cycleways.
