Never one to shrink from a challenge, architect Richard Cole has transformed this 1930s sandstone cottage into an RAIA award-winning design that beautifully echoes the strength and integrity of the original. Nestled within a large stand of spotted gums on an exceptionally private double block, its sophistication is derived from the simplicity of the striking forms and a robust palette of polished hardwoods, steel and sandstone.
