Middle Cove is possibly the best-kept secret of Sydney’s Lower North Shore. It is uber-convenient - 15 minutes to the CBD & 7 minutes to Chatswood. Yet it is one of the most naturally picturesque & tranquil places to live. Surrounded by water, Middle Cove was undeveloped bushland until 1957 when Lend Lease bought the land to create an exclusive new suburb on Sydney’s Lower North Shore.
The original home at 15 The Quarterdeck was designed in 1959 by renowned Architect Glynn Nicholls as his own family home. Glynn Nicholls was the son of Eric Nicholls - renowned architect and business partner of international architect Walter Burley Griffin who was the designer of Canberra, Castlecrag, and Castle Cove. Set amongst Australian architectural design royalty the original home at 15 The Quarterdeck Middle Cove was an exceptional example of mid-century architecture situated in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs.
In 2017, the home was re-envisioned by acclaimed Sydney architect, Josh Allen and by award winning interior design studio, Studio Gorman. The client’s brief was to pay homage to the original architecture, the character and the context, whilst more than doubling the scale of the home (to accommodate a large family) and finally, future-proofing the home to embrace today’s and tomorrow’s technology. The evolution has transformed the home from modest 50’s cottage, to grand, lifestyle resort. The home retains its charm, but adds, space, drama and high tech, affording effortless, spacious living for modern families.
