Gordon’s Bay House in New South Wales, Australia by Madeleine Blanchfield ArchitectsJanuary 24th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Madeleine Blanchfield Architects This 6 bedroom home on the foreshore in Gordon’s Bay, Coogee was built for a young family. It incorporates a north facing courtyard to bring light and air into the centre of the steep, east facing site. The entry offers a vista from Gordon Avenue through the three storey stair void, across the 15m lap pool, and to the bay beyond.  Image Courtesy © Robert Walsh

Large, custom designed timber pivoting screens shroud the house and manage sunlight and privacy.

The Gordon’s bay house is spread over three levels. It has an elevated main living, kitchen and dining level and a casual, lower level which opens onto the garden and view.

Dark timbers, concrete and soft neutrals are drawn in from the exterior palette in the main living level, with some colour hi-lights to bring in the courtyard garden. The lower level has limed timber ceilings and predominantly white palette and casual furnishings. The stone fireplace was crafted from river stones as a counter piece to the more elegant and simple upper level fireplace detail.
