Ocean St House
Located in Bondi, the new family home alters an existing cottage, retaining key structural elements and weaving new work into the original fabric. The design is organised around angled insertions, with a shifted entry form and a sliced corridor shaping the house’s spatial language.
Angled entry
A quiet brick base is paired with a battened screen and an angled entry form, giving the house an elegant, distinct street presence with a subtle civic character. The projecting volume also creates a small landscaped terrace above, adding depth to the frontage.
Sliced corridor
Inside, the entry corridor runs diagonally to separate service spaces from the main living areas. This movement conceals the interior from arrival while drawing the plan toward the central entertaining space, establishing a clear spatial sequence.
