Buhrich House II, Modernist residence in Castlecrag, Sydney, Australia
The residence stands on a steep rocky escarpment, featuring reinforced concrete blade walls, metal-framed glazed walls, and a copper-clad roof structure.
Hugh and Eva Buhrich constructed this architectural residence between 1968 and 1972, incorporating remnants of a Walter Burley Griffin structure from the 1920s.
The residence represents the integration of European modernist principles into Australian architecture through the work of German-born architect Hugh Buhrich.
The north wall consists entirely of glass panels that provide water views through native trees, while the elevated kitchen overlooks the living area.
The house features custom-designed furniture and a steamed cedar sinusoidal ceiling that complement the architectural structure like sculptures within a sculpture.
