EVERLASTING Edwardian

Spending years looking for the "perfect" spot for his young family, Dion Weston found a 1904/05 Edwardian timber cottage in Sydney's lower north shore suburb, Greenwich. The deceased estate was in a very dilapidated state, but Dion could see potential in the heritage-listed property with its sweeping views of Sydney's CBD, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, that could be viewed with a second-storey addition. In navigating how to retain and respect the cottage but also create a long-term family home, Dion worked with architect, Brian Zulaikha, from Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects. Together they envisaged the restored cottage sitting alongside a modern, sculptural addition, both connected by an enclosed ramp structure and 19.5m-long pool.
