South Coogee House
An old Art Deco two storey apartment building, previously converted to a single residence sits atop the cliffs at South Coogee. Expanding the home to accommodate a large family, a new light steel infill third storey and rear extension is proposed. Designed in careful conjunction with the owners a large family home, now connected to the garden and pool, with mid level living areas, double height ceilings and a parent’s retreat enjoy the ocean views on two storeys. The Interior is rearranged to take advantage of the side facing northerly aspect, while the various outdoor entertainment areas connect to each of the bedrooms and living areas, ensure a strong connection between the interior and lush gardens and ocean beyond.
