Randwick House is a contemporary family home designed as a new build, replacing an existing dwelling with a more considered and cohesive architectural response.

The arrival sequence is defined by sandstone-clad garaging, constructed using reclaimed material from the original house and hand-finished on site. This approach grounds the new build within its context while introducing a strong material identity from the outset.

Internally, the home is organised across split levels, with open-plan living and dining areas shaped by large windows, bifold doors and generous ceiling heights. These spaces are designed to maximise natural light and create a seamless connection between interior and exterior living zones.

A refined material palette continues throughout the house. American oak flooring introduces warmth underfoot, while large-format Calacatta marble surfaces are applied across the kitchen, living areas and bathrooms, elevating the interior with a sense of clarity and restraint.

Architectural detailing is expressed through elements such as the upper-level overhang, which provides shelter while reinforcing the structure’s form and proportion. These moves reflect a careful balance between functional performance and architectural expression.

The result is a light-filled and well-resolved family home — defined by material integrity, spatial openness and a considered approach to construction.
