The Challenges
The most desirable properties often face unusual challenges during redevelopment, and Rose Bay was no exception.
The strip of waterfront land fronting the home is classed as having Aboriginal heritage significance, which required careful management during construction.
We also needed to receive development approval before the Woollahra council amended their floor space ratio (FSR) controls – the change from floorplate to FSR could have negatively impacted the size of the new residence.
Finally, we also had to conduct an extensive view analysis that ensured the outlooks of neighbouring properties weren’t impacted.
