A Modern Family Home Designed as a Sculptural Sanctuary (House Tour)
Jewel House is a modern family home in Rose Bay designed by Stafford Architecture as a sculptural sanctuary. The house tour begins at the dramatic entry which is described as the ‘waist’ of the house where all of the spaces come together.
The architecture deliberately layers spaces to create lines of sight into other parts of the house and beyond to views of Sydney Harbour. The upper levels capture these views to their fullest, strategically framing the panorama of the Harbour while mitigating privacy and exposure issues. The lower levels, meanwhile, where the kitchen living and dining spaces are located, are set between landscaped courtyards which create a sense of connection between the interiors and the greenery.
Exemplifying a modern family home, the architecture and interiors are designed to offer privacy and sanctuary as well as crafting a unique experience of residing in Rose Bay. Curved glass, sculptural concrete and architectural detailing speak to the innovative building and construction methods that have gone into creating a living sculpture for the family to reside in after busy days.
These curved elements create a relationship between the weight of the concrete and lightness of the glass, while the finer architectural details lead to the architects’ naming the project Jewel House after the idea of the building as a precious object, modest in size yet exquisitely formed.
We hope you enjoyed this house tour produced by The Local Project.
