Architect Manly
Residential, heritage, and commercial architecture in Manly and the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
Few places conjure images of endless summer, expansive beaches, and beachside living quite like the Northern Beaches suburb of Manly.
From a design and architectural standpoint, Manly is every bit as identifiable yet eclectic as its landscape. When we think Manly, we think beachside escapes, redbrick blocks, expansive terraces, and – of course, beachfront modernity.
As Northern Beaches Architects, we embrace the unique challenge of preserving Manly’s rich architectural heritage. At the same time, we infuse refined modernism and sustainability into homes that harmonise with the natural surroundings.
What We Do
New Homes
Sustainable home architecture and design that emphasises harmony with the natural surroundings. Incorporating natural light, understanding orientation and spacing, and infusing environmental assets into planning ensures a harmonious design that leverages everything that Manly’s natural landscape has to offer.
Renovations
Transforming and developing existing homes to enhance both form and function. Our Manly architecture team works to address the current shortcomings, improve design flow, and capture missed opportunities – all without disrupting the original structural integrity of the home. Our renovation projects in Manly aim to capture light, enhance natural elements, and improve sustainability and comfort through passive design principles.
Heritage Architecture
Manly is no stranger to heritage architecture. Lauded for its turn-of-the-century federation homes and expansive – often oversized, terraces, Manly is a treasure trove for our heritage architects. With each project, we aim to preserve the natural integrity and charm of the home while infusing sustainable elements that enhance liveability.
Our Ethos
Every space that we create is rooted in a clear and consistent ethos that can be seen in each project that we complete. At their core, our ethos can be distilled into three guiding principles:
1. Less, but better
A reduced environmental footprint doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or liveability. Through smart design, we aim to transform each space – big or small – into an expansive experience.
2. Connection with place
Drawing on an extensive knowledge of passive design principles, our Manly architect crafts spaces that are in harmony with their environment. Looking beyond sustainability, connection with place establishes a narrative with the spaces that we occupy so that we come to love and care for them.
3. Detail-oriented
Our architect team in Manly are both detail-oriented and technical-oriented so our designs are just as functional as they are captivating. From the conceptual design stage, right the way through to the construction detailing stage, we endeavour to ask the right questions so that we are always on the front foot.
