Sandringham House
The roof terrace is home to an arched planted pergola and a prayer platform with a symbolic olive tree that was gifted from the client’s father’s garden.
Sketches
The living spaces are complemented by a series of garden terraces around the house.
The concrete roof that is an amalgam of Botany Bay seashells and arranged with reference to geometric patterning and iconography.
Construction
Multiple living spaces, terraces and gardens are built around the pool – the social heart of the house – while providing protection from southerly winds and offering large spaces for regular gatherings of forty or more.
The house’s form, expressed in sand toned Krause brick, speaks to the surrounding wind-swept dunes. The curvilinear cutaway achieves massing that responds to post-war brick bungalows lining the street. This combination of sand dune and brick bungalow were the driving conceptual framework for the house.
