This Darling Point waterfront home is a modern building with a traditional appearance, using detail and finishes that respect the adjoining heritage property of Carthona.
The house is purposely “split” over its 5 levels, so that the bottom three floors, containing indoor-outdoor pool, gymnasium, guest flat and 8-car garage create a base that the upper two floors of main living and bedrooms are built off. A historic, Italianatte-inspired palette runs right through the residence, from the arched colonnade to the coffered outdoor room ceiling and into the interior design and furnishings.
MHDP headed a collaborative Client/Architect/Builder team where at each opportunity decisions were weighed to ensure the most cost-effective options were used. In this way, the project was delivered significantly under the original estimated budget. The resulting building is a family home that allows the Clients to live their dream of a traditional home with no compromise to their lifestyle and one that maximises the site’s opportunities.
