Progress from Above | Bronte Home

This aerial perspective captures what we love about adaptive architecture - honouring the past while building boldly for the future.

The heritage home renovation stands proud at street level, its character intact and protected. Behind it, a three-storey contemporary addition rises from deep excavation in challenging sandy soils. This luxury residential project demanded technical precision: engineering sophisticated propping systems to support original walls while carving out valuable basement space below. It's problem-solving that respects history.

Solar panels crown the new extension, bringing modern performance to heritage bones. We've chosen materials that speak to each other - copper roofing echoing the terracotta tiles of the original structure, robust off-form concrete anchoring the rear addition. It's heritage preservation with purpose.

That sculptural curved roof? It's functional beauty. On top sits a roof garden that will eventually cascade with greenery, softening the concrete and creating a living layer of insulation. Below, an indoor-outdoor living zone integrates pool, kitchen, and flexible family space - designed for the way people live and grow.

This is residential architecture as long-term thinking. We're creating custom homes that adapt, perform, and endure. Homes that contribute positively to their streetscapes while meeting the demands of contemporary family living. Homes that don't compromise between character and comfort, between heritage conservation and high performance design.

Bronte Project represents our architectural design philosophy: technically rigorous, contextually sensitive, and optimistic about what thoughtful architecture can achieve. We're building for resilience, flexibility, and the generations to come.
