Golf House, Surry Hills
Architect: PTI Architects
Builder: Trinvas & Kelaron
Completion: 2020

From the architect: This is a new luxury 45 apartment residential project in Surry Hills on the eastern edge of the Sydney CBD. This is in the area of Sydney which has the most life and character and has the latest in fashions, cafes, restaurants, bars, hotels and many creative businesses. This is being built on the areas’ long history as in fashion and textile production. Over the last few years the area has undergone a major upgrade and at the forefront of this has been the development of this Golf House Residences project. The design itself reflects the history and energy of the area ~ creating a building that provides a sense of strength and a “warmth” to provides “a real “home” in the midst of our busy and bustling city. Further it works to create a place of respite, comfort and relaxation. To do this we have designed a building that is strong in form and rich in colour and texture. The interiors also feature natural materials and crafted materials and finishes which is also a major point of distinction of the project. They are the vision and work of the very talented and Australian “living treasure” Collette Dinnigan. The project is now complete after being more than 15 years in the making. Over this time we worked on a number of options for the site, transferred the old heritage “Golf House” sign with its neon golfer ~ who every time hit a hole in one ~ to the Power House Museum, re-zoned the site to increase its permissible height and floor space, designed the building and gained the necessary approvals, assisted the successful sales and marketing campaign, and then assisted the Builder and our Client through all stages of construction and handover. The response from many people has been very positive.
