This 1950's radical home was designed by Henry Pollack, the founder of Mirvac. There were many features that the client and architect wished to keep, whilst updating the home for an active growing family. It has stunning views over Sydney Harbour and the upper living area floor was opened up to maximise these views. The original shallow butterfly roof was kept intact whist most of its support columns were removed. Partridge Partners inserted a new structural steel support system using large cantilevers, few columns and tie-down backspans.
