'DIAMANTINA'

Diamantina is a newly completed residence on Sydney's North Shore with a magnificent northern exposure along the full length of the house that makes deliberate design reference to the iconic Modern houses of Australia in the 1950's.

The house makes a bold and distinctive presence in the more conservative streetscape and is unashamedly proud to show itself off.

The clean rendered white geometric forms are offset by key vertical textural elements which articulate the generous facade and maintain the balance of proportions with negative and positive components.
