Sandringham House | Tonkin Zulaikha Greer

Sandringham House is a split level home for intergenerational living that responds to an exposed southerly aspect and its sandy surrounds. The house is expressed in sand toned Krause bricks that speak to the wind swept dunes of Botany Bay. The curvilinear cutaway achieves massing that responds to post war brick bungalows lining the street.

The importance of family, community and cultural heritage to the client is reflected in the architecture. Multiple living spaces, terraces and gardens are built around the pool providing protection from the wind while offering large spaces for regular gatherings of forty or more. A ‘forever home’ for the client, the Sandringham House was designed with longevity and sustainability in mind. Sustainable initiatives including a state of the art geothermal system supports efficient heating and cooling.
