A family of five, a steep harbour-edge block, and a single instruction from the architect: let the sandstone do the talking.
House Wentworth sits on a fall of nearly nine metres above the water. The architect's scheme buried the entry in the cliff and opened the living level to the north, so the house reads as a single quiet plane of stone and glass from the harbour. Our work was to make that calm possible — the structural gymnastics, the hand-set stone, the joinery that hides every service. The result is a home that looks effortless precisely because nothing about it was.
A slow pass through House Wentworth at the hour the architect designed for — late afternoon, light raking across the stone.
