Design Development - Bronte - June 2023

We are thrilled to have our client’s approval on the design development of this heritage home in Bronte. Working with heritage homes is a big love of the Nick Bell Architects team - so it was a joy to design the alterations and additions that retains the original beauty while opening up the home for today’s style of living - all within the constraints of Waverley Council’s controls.

The focus of the design is a central atrium that opens the south facing property up to a northern aspect. This internal courtyard melds with the double height space inviting natural light and air into the heart of the home. Externally the new addition responds to the heritage context with a sleek modern terracotta cladding skin emphasising the pitched roof forms.
