11 Pacific Street, Watsons Bay

This is reimagining of the traditional Watsons Bay weatherboard cottage from the 1850s. The historical significance of the surrounding area has influenced the recasting of this derelict fisherman's cottage into a contemporary permanent home. Whilst modest in size, the building provides for the needs of its inhabitants without a fuss, providing its occupants with a sense of calm and repose. Considerations of light, material, and form were key in developing the interior, which is ordered through an off form concrete barrier. The sequence of spaces within has been meticulously designed, flooded with natural light invited in by the skylight and timber sliding doors. Considerations of light, material, and form were key in developing the interior, which is ordered by a central off-form concrete barrier.
