House in Vaucluse

Design: Bruce Stafford Architects

Location: Vaucluse, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Contemporary Property in NSW

This family home is the result of an extensive renovation to a modest but elevated harbour-facing property. The K4 Residence in Vaucluse project involved working with a significant proportion of the existing fabric, resulting in the need for a carefully resolved internal layout.

Given the clients’ penchant for entertaining, an additional floor was added which takes advantage of the expansive Sydney Harbour views. Conceived as a “New York style” lounge bar, it features luxurious finishes and bespoke joinery items like integrated leather bench seating and a marble-clad bar area.

A key intervention was also the inclusion of a double volume entrance zone which creates a visual connection between the entry level and the upper floor as well as the opportunity for the clients to welcome their arriving guests from the top floor.

BSA worked closely on the project with the clients on all the interior selections, thereby ensuring that the overall design matched their personal vision for their home.
