The contemporary transformation of North Bondi House was carried out by Australian studio MCK Architects, located in Bondi, an eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This project comprises a first floor addition and a ground floor reinvention to a space + light deprived semi-detached house.

Floorspace has been sacrificed on the first floor to create a double height open core to the center of the house, filtering natural light into the depths of the interior. Dead space has been otherwise eliminated where possible through open planning and recycling circulation functionality.

MCK is a young team of multi-award winning architects based in Sydney, Australia. We specialize in residential and commercial projects of high-quality finish and detail that are sensitive to context and brief. Our distinctive aesthetic is known for its classic proportion and geometric form. We enjoy using unexpected materials that challenge and sometimes even surprise. We also believe that good architecture and respect for the environment go hand in hand. Working with your ideas, we can nurture your project from conception to completion. Our innovative and inter-disciplinary skill-set, and extensive network of suppliers, means we can take a project from the first sketch right through to construction. Our team can help you make the right decisions and guide you through the process by bringing our creativity and can-do expertise to the table. Our work-style is collaborative, open and driven by our love of good design.
