Courtyard — Watershed Architects Projects New Residences, Alterations and Additions, Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Manly 22

In this busy, seaside locale, the front of an original cottage was retained and a new home for a family of six carefully created behind. The existing swimming pool was rejuvenated with new tiles and timber deck surrounds to create continuity and a sense of harmony between the new interiors and the outdoor living zone. The existing laneway garage was rebuilt with a new studio above.

Manly 12

A bespoke family home on a long site that steps down to a North-facing garden. A courtyard introduces light into the heart of the living spaces. The rear living pavilion is constructed using bricks salvaged from demolition of the original cottage to bring texture, thermal mass and a connection to the history of the site.
