New Homes

Located on a Northern Beaches headland with uninterrupted view to the Pacific horizon and Long Reef, the client’s brief was for a ‘forever’ house which was easy to access, navigate and live in as they aged and which could be adapted when life’s circumstances change.

As committed grandparents, the versatile design provides  a dedicated level for caring for their grandchildren and a granny flat to accommodate their childrens’ families moving between homes or returning from overseas. This flat is private with a separate entry, also suitable for a nurse or domestic help.

This house is a joy to live in, a house to die for.

PARADISE RETREAT

Byron Bay

The remote site  overlooks  a waterfall, lush valley and out to sea, presenting a challenge with the opportunity to delight.

Wisden Architect’s brief was to design a sustainable retreat within the forest, a place which reinvigorates the owner’s relationship with this special part of nature. Built on a steep incline within the Byron hinterland, this simple and robust tree house was designed for the tropical environment and holiday lifestyle. Functional, different and fun, this paradise retreat reflects Australian egalitarian values of honesty, simplicity, and usefulness.

The Wright Place

Wisden Architects listen to client requirements and observe how occupants use their homes, designing buildings that complement the client’s lifestyle and which appreciate in value over time. Our completed projects are custodians of ideas drawn from the sustained observation of our clients’ living habits. Our practice seeks appropriateness rather than novelty, with each project involving subtle innovation.

This modest north shore building was transformed into a large family home  taking advantage of the northern orientation and middle harbour views. 

This house is a very liveable family home. Wisden Architects were responsive to our brief, realistic in what could be achieved within our budget and were terrific in their attention to detail.
