This brand-new residence delivers contemporary, maintenance-free living in a peaceful location just metres from Queens Park, in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

Designed by Architect Steven Gerendas from Un-fold Workshop, the property was built on the site of a former quarry which provided stone for some of the monuments and landscape features in nearby Centennial Park.

Elements of the site’s strong landscape presence, including an historic Port Jackson fig, a mature Phoenix Palm and a large gumtree, have been carefully and lovingly maintained, connecting the occupants with nature and the site itself.

“This is truly a unique residence as it’s one of the only fully new builds in the Queens Park Heritage zone, and the only building that has ever been set on this disused quarry,” Ben Collier told WILLIAMS MEDIA.

“The design, craftsmanship and the overall finishes are sublime and can only be appreciated on inspection.”

The property spans four levels, connected by both a bespoke steel and recycled hardwood staircase reflecting its industrial heritage and a private leatherbound lift which is crowned by a signature wing roof. The green Atlantis roof garden acts as a thermal blanket for the building and blends into the treetop vistas, blurring the lines between builidng and nature.

"This building invites immersion of the senses," Steven Gerendas told WILLIAMS MEDIA. "It pays respect to the site's history as a working sandstone quarry, creating a luxurious urban oasis that is calming and moody due to its utmost privacy, earthy palette and careful control of natural light. Its unique spaces reuse the materials of the quarry, yet feel unique due to their position within the structure, delivering seamless, high tech, low maintenance living."

The top floor showcases an open plan living room, featuring bespoke German made Leicht joinery throughout. Other key features include Miele appliances, walk-in pantry, custom leathered granite bench tops/joinery alcoves, a bar and indoor/ outdoor terrace areas centred around the Port Jackson fig.

The podium level contains three ensuite bedrooms, the master with full free-standing bath, separate toilet, and terrace. Occupying the ground level are a multi-purpose studio, cinema room and three car garage with car turntable.
