Clareville, Northern Beaches NSW

The Clareville Artist’s House is located on the Northern Beaches Peninsula - north of Sydney - with 360° views of Pittwater and the Pacific Ocean. The expansive property held an existing sandstone dwelling ‘Hy Brasil’ designed and built by Alexander Jolly in 1934 and was subject to a Permanent Conservation Order (under NSW Heritage Act 1977) in recognition the integrity of the setting and the preservation of vegetation on the prominent ridge. Commissioned by the Client to provide a primary family dwelling and working artists studio on the site, the planning of the new pavilion style home was heavily influenced by the rich setting - within the constraints of Bushfire and site access constraints.
