James Garvan Architecture

Work In Progress – Woollahra House.  From sketch to built form.
 
The curved stone façades began as a series of carefully resolved drawings and set-outs, but the real magic came from the craftsmen who brought the 4600 travertine and limestone blocks to life.
 
Every curve, joint and shadow reflects an extraordinary level of patience, precision and skill. I’m hugely grateful to and the stonemasons and builders whose craftsmanship transformed an idea on paper into something tactile, enduring and beautifully made.

Early studies for a new home in Palm Beach.

At this stage, it’s about testing possibilities. How the home sits in the landscape, how it captures light and breeze, and how the spaces unfold from street to garden.

These hand-drawn studies and models are where it all begins, refining the brief and finding a direction that feels calm, intuitive and connected to how our clients live.
