54 Caledonia St, Paddington NSW 2021, Australia
A modern marvel of unrivalled artistry, Fraser House was built in 1974 by the distinguished late architect Vivian Fraser as his own home and recognised by the RAIA with a Merit Award as a fine example of the Sydney School style of architecture. Revolutionary in its day and still outstanding in its conception and design. The double-fronted property has undergone a bespoke revival by Noek Witzand – noekdesign. He has preserved the integrity of the original build while catering to contemporary lifestyles with every luxury, from a state-of-the-art kitchen and home office, to a heated mineral pool and climate control.
Designed around an internal courtyard to maximise natural light and cross-flow, every detail of this newly transformed icon has been custom crafted with limestone, walnut veneer and Paonazza marble as the heroes of the interiors offset by textural finishes in brass, silk and stucco. In keeping with its mid-century aesthetic, the freestanding home’s transformation takes a human-centric approach that focuses on wellbeing with three ensuite bedrooms conceived as private sanctuaries and a 9.8kW solar power system ensuring the home treads lightly on the environment. This is a true one-of-a-kind at the top end of Paddington, 300m to Woollahra village and 600m to the gates to Centennial Park.
