Helix Residence
For Helix Residence, we transformed a modest Californian bungalow into a warm and generous family home with sweeping harbour views. Softened forms, horizontal elements, a rendered mid-section and sandstone podium complement the home’s original character.
Living, kitchen and dining spaces are nested around a helix staircase – a piece of sculpture that connects all three levels and breaks an otherwise open arrangement of space.
Large windows, open-plan spaces, and thoughtful orientation make sure the harbour is always in sight, like a living painting in the background of the family's daily life.
“The staircase was both a dream and a puzzle to fit into the existing structure of the home, but seeing it come to life was incredibly rewarding.”
- Daniel Boddam
Project Details
Curved and rounded motifs are echoed in the home's arched entry, steel gate, stair balustrade and softened building edges, lighting selections and countertop corners, creating a harmonious tone that straddles modernity and classicism.
