Winner
99 Yarranabbe Road, Darling Point
Architect: Andrew Burges Architects
Heritage consultant: John Oultram Heritage Design
Builder: A.N.T. Building
The property which was in poor condition and originally proposed to be demolished, has been retained and conserved. A new rooftop addition in zinc is wonderfully resolved and respects the original face brick façade.
The conversion of internal rooms into more fluid spaces has opened up and enhanced the interiors in a fascinating way, allowing appreciation of the curving exterior walls.
The additions demonstrate a clear understanding of the heritage values of the building while overlaying contemporary planning and amenity that respects the bones structure of the original house.
