How Flacking stunning is this place? With Flack on the decks, it’s almost guaranteed the result is going to be a good one, and this project sure doesn’t disappoint. Nestled in one of the most beautiful streets in Sydney’s Potts Point (I say this as I used to live on the same street for years, directly across from this very property, to be exact – how’s that for a fun mid-week fact?), this home in no way reveals it’s densely populated context. Potts Point Residence is Melbourne-based Flack Studio’s first residential project in Sydney. Since their clients had already experienced their work at a more intimate level and were reassured of the design outcomes, David Flack and his team had the opportunity to really push the boundaries. Initially conceived as a love letter to Sydney, the process evolved since it began in 2016, evolving into a project that became highly personal for the team. The four-level house was where the clients would spend their twilight years, however, during the course of the project, one of them was diagnosed with early-onset dementia. “Our design direction changed as the project became a love letter to this beautiful couple,” says David.

“We spend a lot of time with our clients to ensure our designs are a reflection of their passions and personalities, not only now, but in twenty years,” explains David. This project, however, threw a major curveball, as the team were unable to truly meet the person who would’ve had the most influence in the collaborative design process. “It was important we infused as much of her into the design,” says David. “We were able to reference books, films and fashion to allow a connection of what the collaboration would have looked like. We had the full trust to create the perfect space with very little input.” As a result, Flack Studio turned the four-level home into a five-level world that would provide everything this couple and their family would ever need.

Inspired by the original heritage interior and committed to maintaining its essence, the scheme explores the use of contrasting stones, finishes and textures for a combination that subtly emphasises different eras of the new interior, while effortlessly transitioning between time references. The staircase naturally becomes this portal that links the rooms throughout the residence. Its sculptural form is articulated in each level with light-finishes that reflect and bounce the natural light within the interior. The amalgamation of light and form heightens the presence of the staircase throughout the residence, becoming one of the studio’s favourite design outcomes. As one of only a handful of single dwellings in one of Sydney’s most built-up suburbs, complete with an underground pool and a rooftop to boot, this dashing home feels like an elegantly dreamed-up self-contained world. Read on for further insight into this incredible project via a quick chat with the man himself, David Flack.
