Auction Location: On site
Designed by local Birchgrove architect Keith Pike Associates, the acclaimed Katsura house, is a substantial three-level residence - a study in light, volume and connection to its remarkable setting. Created for a prized northeast-facing site, the home elevates its living spaces above ground level where north and south walls of operable glass open entirely to expansive entertaining decks, drawing in harbour breezes, leafy outlooks and ever-changing natural light. A striking glass-tread staircase links a series of beautifully considered spaces, from formal and informal living zones to a flexible ground-floor office and media retreat. Above, the master suite sits beneath a soaring tent-like roofline with walls of glass framing treetops, sky and glimpses of the city and harbour beyond. Designed around a central plunge pool and wrapped in the greenery of neighbouring waterfront reserves, it's a home of architectural longevity in one of Birchgrove's most tightly held streets, with the ferry, harbour parklands and CBD transport all moments away. Featured in numerous architectural publications.
