A Tribute To Classic Modernism With Sublime Northerly Views And A Self-Contained Apartment

A labour of love crafted without compromise, this grand Woollahra residence was envisaged and realised by renowned Sydney architect Mark Sheldon as his family home and designed to take full advantage of panoramic northerly views over Cooper Park to the city skyline and Harbour Bridge. A streamlined aesthetic captures the essence of classic modernism with a circulation spine from front to back that harnesses the sunshine and harbour breeze with an open sightline and glazed breezeways allowing the building to breathe and connecting the interiors with the gardens and vista beyond. Flexibility and functionality are inherent in the design with a self-contained dual level apartment, children's wing and luxurious master suite with panoramic views that are beautiful by day and magic by night. Clean lines, consistency of materials and an artfully conceived minimalism create a timeless sensibility while a robust build with solid masonry walls and a striking copper-clad roof give the building longevity. With a 12m heated mosaic-tiled pool and spa as a sparkling centrepiece in the north-facing garden, the five-bedroom home is in a quiet pocket of Woollahra just 500m to Westfield and a few hundred metres to Cooper Park's nature trails, tennis courts and bushwalks.
