Perhaps Los Angeles’ most iconic or famous house is the Stahl House, also known as Case Study House #22 by Pierre Koenig. This extraordinary modern residence completed in 1959 overlooks Los Angeles from the Hollywood Hills. These shots were taken in February 2020, just after I visited Palm Springs’ Modernism Week and just before I had to make a hasty ‘Escape from LA’ prior to Covid hitting. What a place - always living up to its filmic apocalyptic reputation.

ELIZABETH BAY APARTMENTS, NSW
Murrawan Court in Elizabeth Bay Crescent was built in 1961. Positioned in a prized Sydney Harbour-side location behind Elizabeth Bay Road in a quiet cul-de-sac, it was designed by architect and Czech immigrant, Alexander Kann (1922-2004) according to City of Sydney Council archives.

We were tasked with refurbishing the entire building, including the rooftop, stairwells and the interior and exterior entrance spaces whilst ensuring the original modernist design was respected and retained.

"We believe that architecture should, above all else, reflect a profound understanding of place, the signature features of a location, the people who live there and be an expression of the way they want to live." Robert Harwood, Director RHA

We deliver luxury, contemporary residential and commercial architecture and interiors. Our work reflects a subtle beauty that optimises siting potential, reveres the natural landscape, expresses the spirit of the people who live there and contributes positively and profoundly to urban form.

Some fine examples in this list. Happy to be included. 🙏

Robert Harwood Architects provided design and construction documentation for the alterations and additions to this extraordinary home, originally designed and built in the 1980's by Swiss-trained Architect Gerry Rihs as his own home, located on the harbour foreshore in Sydney's Double Bay.

Masterfully built in 'poured in-situ' concrete, the additions were completed using a similar technique. The concrete formwork and detailing we designed were inspired by the work of Venetian modernist architect Carlo Scarpa whose work in the Vento region Robert toured as an architecture student. So it was a great honour for him to participate in the work on this house for the current owners.

From a 1920’s beachside tea room, to a car repair garage, this Beach Road, Hampton landmark property has been adapted to residential use over the years with a series of piecemeal changes, but with no cohesive overarching concept.

Our client’s brief was to rethink the internal configuration to bring in greater natural light and optimise the spectacular bay and beach views, as well as create a more comfortable, contemporary home whilst retaining its original characteristics and charm. Construction is now underway.

A NEW BUILD IN MELBOURNE'S FOOTHILLS.
Design Development drawings for a new, four bedroom home set on an elevated site, with potential to create landscaped grounds surrounding the main structure. Includes separate studio apartment.

These images are still early in the design process, providing our clients with a first glimpse of how materials and forms are working together. The drawings also consider the landscape form and how it relates to and can optimise the structure, as well as exploring the positioning of the home on the site. More details soon.
