This exceptional contemporary residence overcame numerous site and construction challenges to provide a fit-for-purpose home for a couple and their two teenage children. The site was previously occupied by a split level 1970s brick which was demolished to make way for a 2 storey timber-framed building clad in Equitone and a light weight foam render system.
Located at the tip of Coal Point, the steep fall of this residence's site provides fantastic vistas across Lake Macquarie but created many challenges for the builder during construction. The design called for the existing home to be partially demolished and original retaining walls removed and rebuilt.
The McGowan residence in Cooks Hill provides an innovative building response to the heritage constraints in this popular inner city suburb of Newcastle. Although the original residence was not heritage listed, it was located within a heritage area, and therefore architect and builder collaborated to ensure that the alterations and additions created an appropriate civic presence in keeping with the surrounding streetscape.
