The inspired architect designed reinvention of this freestanding 1880s villa fuses the grandeur of Victorian architecture with the ambience of a luxurious tropical retreat on the exclusive Birchgrove peninsula. Sun drenched interiors embrace the outdoors via a striking glass-framed living pavilion while a lush garden oasis adds a tranquil holiday-like vibe, and a clever design incorporates a versatile home office or teen retreat.
