Occupying one of Sylvania Waters’ widest waterfront allotments, Caspian is our take of architectural redemption. 868 Studio fundamentally altered and strengthened an existing, poorly built dwelling. This profound transformation breathes new life into an inadequate framework, elevating the home to an award-worthy standard of refined coastal luxury.

The tectonic narrative relies on a sophisticated interplay of mass and transparency. The reimagined structure is anchored by tactile limestone cladding, providing a robust lithic base. This heavy masonry is beautifully juxtaposed with Spotted Gum Knotwood battening, a high-performance envelope that introduces organic warmth and enduring coastal resilience.

Internally, the sweeping context drives the spatial logic. Vitrocsa slim glazing dissolves the rear facade, completely erasing the threshold between interior living zones and the water’s edge. By pairing renewed structural integrity with a rigorous material palette, Caspian translates a former liability into a highly resolved architectural legacy.
