A level of responsiveness and seclusion ultimately drove the brief for Bayview Tree House, resulting in a restful family home that embraces an enviable coastal outlook. Woodward Architects proposes an open and warm series of connected zones that encourage the familiar indoor-outdoor lifestyle known of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Somewhat unassuming from approach, Bayview Tree House is deeply rooted in a connection to nature – a principle that is established from the outset.
Through deliberate design choices, CHROFI ensures Long Reef House retains its original footprint and location on site while simultaneously enhancing connections to the natural surrounds. CHROFI grounds the new home in place by aligning the façade with the headland and extending its width along the coastline, aligning with the rhythmic lapping of ocean waves. CHROFI draws inspiration from neighbouring homes and the existing urban fabric in the reworking of Long Reef House.

With a focus on opening the structure to connect with the surrounding landscape and harbour views, a raw and contemporary material palette aids in crafting a home of enduring warmth. Originally built in the 1930s, Burran Avenue Residence had been unsympathetically modified over time.
