This month 'At Home With The Architect' invites you to explore Doorzien House a residence in North Sydney's Kirribilli.
Taking place on Sunday 15 July, architect Melonie Bayl-Smith, Director of Bijl Architecture will guide tour participants through their architectural reworking of an existing semi-detached residence.
Designed for a couple looking to abandon their nomadic lifestyle, Doorzien House is the result of their desire for a 'forever' home. 'Doorzien' in Dutch means 'see through' and the house is designed to open up to as many lines of view as possible to take advantage of natural light and a spectacular vista of the Harbour.
