Solomon Street Residence
On our first meeting with Sabina and Daniel, we climbed onto the roof of their house and discussed their expectations and vision for the renovation.
They were very clear.
“We want to make the most of this view!”

The client brief requested we retain the existing brick foot print at ground level and develop a new second level. This ensured we could maximize ocean views and transform the aesthetics of the 70’s house into a visually striking modern and sustainable home.
The project was developed on a tight budget, so design decisions were made with the philosophy of “keeping it simple”.
Whilst this is easier said than done, it was a strong principle that guided many of the decisions throughout the process…
Located close to the coast and facing due west, sun protection and visual connection to the water was essential. The deep shielded verandah wrap provide both.
Before and After…
Its easy to look at these two images and appreciate the result.
But the amount of work, patience, stress, uncertainty, passion, and trust that goes into the building process cannot be understated.
Getting Solomon street residence built was a journey, and an absolute credit to the clients for their perseverance, vision and commitment!
