Jorge Hrdina Architects designed the Delany House in Sydney, Australia. The house was designed for a family of five sits on a steep site, surrounded by eucalypts on Sydney’s Middle Harbour. From the street, a low flying roof and strong, horizontal screen reveal little of the intersecting and folding architecture that makes up the project. Arranged across four levels, the house explores precipice and elements of the sublime. Bedrooms are above and below, private to the main living platform. Below these levels a meandering stair finds a smaller platform, directly engaging the ground and a pool, completing the architectural reading of the site.
