Architectural New Build & Heritage Preservation
- Service Category : High-End Architectural New Build & Heritage Preservation
- Location: Austinmer, NSW 2515 (Northern Illawarra)
- Technical Specialty: Cliff-edge engineering, cantilevers, and character retention.
This premier Austinmer (2515) residence represents a sophisticated intersection of modern coastal luxury and heritage character. Working alongside Walter Barda Design, Simpson & Co Projects executed a complex structural vision that involved the complete preservation of the original cottage facade while integrating a high-performance, contemporary architectural volume behind it.
As specialised coastal builders, we navigated the significant engineering challenges of a cliff-edge site. The project required precision-engineered footings and structural cantilevers to maximise the dramatic ocean views while ensuring long-term stability in a high-exposure marine environment. The result is a seamless transition between the home’s historic roots and its new identity as a benchmark for architectural construction on the Illawarra coast.

Ongoing Custodial Stewardship: Austinmer No. 1 remains a cornerstone of the Simpson & Co portfolio. Since its initial completion, we have maintained a continuous custodial partnership with the owners, providing the technical oversight required to ensure the home’s bespoke finishes remain in peak condition. It is a living example of how professional stewardship preserves both architectural intent and property value.
