On a remarkable stretch of Sydney coastline in Cronulla, Sandstock is a sculptural composition in textured masonry. Designed by Clayton Orszaczky, the home responds to the fall of the land, the fierce southerly winds and its public exposure to a coastal walkway, with deep, elevated gardens punctuating its robust brick forms.
There is an elegance to the restraint shown throughout this project. Every detail has been carefully considered, resulting in a home that feels protective, beautifully proportioned and deeply connected to its landscape.
Brick was a material the clients asked for, and it is used with restraint and consistency inside and out. Hit-and-miss masonry and textured brickwork create soft edges and filtered light at windows flanked by gardens. Curved walls, staggered volumes and open brickwork shape the plan, and garden beds are worked into the building itself, bringing light, air and greenery deep into the home.
