Flying Fox House / George Banks Architecture

Nestled in a bay-side suburb in Sydney, Flying Fox extends at the top of a sloped site that peers over the bay. The project's aim was to create a home that captures the northern sun and views of the bay. To address this, a large outdoor space featuring a swimming pool, outdoor living, and a kitchen was situated at the front of the site. This home layers a series of spaces that cascade along the sloped site, allowing views from the different parts of the building. The outdoor space serves as the core of the home, which connects to the main living areas. The bedroom levels are placed below and above this level, with a private office and bathrooms throughout.
