In Sydney’s prestigious Lower North Shore, multi-award-winning Sydney custom builder TASS has brought to life a breathtaking residence that epitomises modern coastal luxury. Designed in collaboration with hecticrAt architects, this Mosman custom build is a shining example of why the young company has very quickly forged a reputation as one of Sydney’s premier custom home builders.
This project was envisioned as a complete transformation: a knockdown and rebuild that would deliver a timeless family home with a modern, functional edge. Every aspect, from the demolition of the original structure to the expert construction of the new multi-level home, was carefully managed to meet the highest standards of craftsmanship, sustainability, and contemporary design.
Delivering a project of this complexity did not come without it’s challenges. The site required intricate structural planning to address soil stability, prompting TASS to implement real-time geotechnical monitoring and sophisticated foundation reinforcement techniques. Strict council and environmental regulations necessitated design modifications and close consultation throughout the construction process. Working within a densely populated residential area also added logistical pressure, which was expertly managed through advanced project management systems and the strategic use of prefabrication to streamline construction and reduce disruption.
The architectural language of the home is modern coastal, embracing its harbourside location with elegance and ease. Clean, contemporary lines are softened through the introduction of organic textures and materials, creating a home that feels simultaneously sophisticated and relaxed. The palette is fresh and timeless, with crisp whites and classic blues flowing through the interiors, perfectly reflecting the nearby waters, Natural materials including warm timber flooring and striking feature stone add the texture and depth, creating a tactile connection to the surrounding environment and delivering a feeling of understated luxury.
At the heart of the home lies a beautifully crafted open-plan living space that maximises natural light and frames leafy, private outlooks. The stunning kitchen anchors the space, featuring an oversized island bench in classic blue, integrated appliances, and bespoke joinery. This central hub seamlessly connects to generous dining and living zones, offering the ideal setting for both relaxed family life and sophisticated entertaining. Brushed brass fixtures add a touch of warmth and refinement, subtly enhancing the coastal aesthetic without overpowering the calm, organic atmosphere.
Upstairs, spacious bedrooms provide quiet retreats. Ensuring an abundance of natural light, skylights have been used generously throughout this beautiful home which also adds to the sense of spaciousness and bright coastal atmosphere. The stunning master suite epitomises everyday luxury with a generous walk-in robe, a spa-like ensuite complete with natural stone finishes and underfloor heating and generous walk in wardrobe. Private balcony spaces create a sanctuary perfectly attuned to modern living.
The connection between indoor and outdoor living was a critical part of the design. Landscaped gardens, carefully positioned alfresco areas, and integrated architectural lighting extend the living spaces beyond the home’s walls, creating a seamless flow between inside and out. Sustainable construction practices were employed throughout, including energy-efficient glazing, rainwater harvesting, and passive design principles that respect the coastal environment and contribute to the home’s long-term performance.
Throughout the home, technology is thoughtfully integrated, with intelligent lighting, climate control, and home automation systems working quietly behind the scenes to enhance comfort and efficiency.
Despite the complexities of the build, the outcome is a home that feels effortless and is a true reflection of an outstanding custom home where craftsmanship, innovation, and design come together to create something exceptional.
With an impressive track record and a growing collection of industry awards, TASS continues to set the standard for bespoke building excellence. In every element of this project, from the structural innovations beneath the surface to the subtle detailing of the interiors, TASS has proven once again why they are deserving of the many industry accolades they hold.
