in the Sutherland Shire overlooking the Royal National Park. The clients were Jason and Sara Economos of Beyond Build Constructions, with whom SBD had worked many times before. It started as an abandoned sandstone cottage on a hill in Gymea Bay. When Jason and Sara stumbled across that cottage in 2020, they were inspired by what they saw as untapped potential. They wanted it restored, with an addition on the hill that would capitalize on the view. “It was a tricky site to deal with,” said Jake. To link between the new and old building, SBD Studio went with a split-level staircase with a pop-up roof over it that allows light to filter into the central core of the home. This provided a clear distinction between the original sandstone cottage and the new contemporary rear addition that stepped down the hill. “It was a good collaboration between us, the client and builder,” says Jake. “We molded their vision into something that worked for the site.” SBD Studio also recently saw the completion of Redgum Gables in Cronulla, with WalkerBuild, a renovation with a modern-coastal aesthetic for a young family building their forever home. It features a high level of finish that is a different style than L’Arc Maison, says Jake. The project features a “dreamy space” where the kitchen seamlessly connects the internal and external living spaces, offering stunning views in both directions. One view overlooks the private pool and alfresco area, and the other captures views over Gunnamatta Bay.
