Point Piper House | Tony Owen Architects

The client sought a much lighter and very luxurious home. The first challenge was to re-unify the house by connecting all levels using a steel spiral staircase. We then rationalised the structure introducing fewer columns, and simpler beams. This resulted in a very clean and open flow. The top floor was changed to a master bedroom suite. The roof terrace was extended. The entire house was rendered. The uppermost level was reclad in transluscent profilit glass, which continued through the lower levels and the house was re-rendered and painted white. This considerably lightened the exterior and the large expanse of profile it and connecting voids lightened the interiors. The result is a luxurious dwelling that lives up to its prestigious address.
