Step Inside a Mid-Century Modern Home by Davidov Architects⁠

At LDS II Residence, the starting point wasn't a blank slate — it was two adjacent houses, each carrying its own history, and the question of how to bring them gracefully together. ⁠

Davidov Architects identified existing elements worth honouring: oak parquetry floors, honed Juparana granite, a timber-lined staircase, and brass hardware with its own quiet patina. Where materials could not be matched, blended pink and red marbles in a gridded Palladiana pattern step in; where natural light could not reach, wall-to-wall illuminated stretch ceilings dissolve formerly dark interiors into calm, evenly-lit environments.⁠

Responding to its surroundings, Little Brick House brings considered light in. Morning sun pours through full-height doors and glazing, while views to the west are filtered by operable blinds that shift with the sun. To the north, highlight windows draw in light while maintaining privacy to the laneway.

Behind The Scenes | Clontarf House by Mathieson Architects⁠

For some, a stroll along Sydney’s Northern Beaches is enough to imagine waking up to rock pools, surf breaks and the soft lapping of water each morning. For others, it’s a reality. Sitting at the point where the Northern Beaches meet the North Shore is Clontarf, a quiet, tranquil suburb that is more alive with family beach days than the bustle of the CBD.⁠

"The home sits at the bottom of a natural slope, just before the water, and has a very close relationship to the waterfront. We wanted to capture a real intimacy between the internal living spaces and the harbour.” – Phillip Mathieson, head architect and founder of New South Wales-based Mathieson Architects⁠

Site orientation posed a challenge, with west-facing glazing requiring careful design to balance natural light, shading, and privacy. The facade was conceived as a series of shrouds infilled with glazing, providing adaptability across bedrooms, bathrooms, and living zones.⁠
