The home is located in the Paddington and West Woollahra Conservation area, where local council rules are in place to protect existing building stock. Exemptions are usually made for building work that sensitively modernises existing homes or replaces buildings that do not fit with the area.

In replacing the existing mid-60’s era building, constructed before the establishment of the conservation area, acclaimed architect John Grove designed the new contemporary house to respond to its heritage setting with cutting edge sustainability principles, winning a number of awards including a 2011 Australian Institute of Architects NSW Residential Architecture Commendation for the project.

John Grove explained to WILLIAMS MEDIA, "The end of streets with classic Victorian row houses were usually bookended by a shop or a pub. This home was built as a ‘bookend’ and timber was used as a nod to the memory of the lost original timber buildings of the area that were largely demolished in the mid 20th Century. It was built as a responsible, respectful and contemporary insert into a conservation area. The fall of the land has allowed for a two car garage, a much envied commodity in the area."

“Twelve years on from completion, the sustainability elements of the house are still cutting edge,” Ben Collier told WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

“The north facing orientation and the bush like views from each room create an oasis only metres away from the convenience of Queen Street Village retail and cafes.”
