North Shore Residence, Sydney

Project Overview

Designed by architect C. J Ross and built in 1893, this Iconic Art and Crafts inspired home stood out amongst its neighbours with its Blue turreted roof and private beach.

Architect Robert H. Simpson was tasked with converting this dated and dilapidated home into a new family home whilst enhancing the most prominent features.

You could say that this project was the cutting of our teeth in the period home realms and we were incredibly lucky to be able to undertake it under the experienced hands of Adam from Garnett & Co and Architect Robert H Simpson.

A job that we will never forget.
