Griffin House

This house in Castlecrag was designed by Walter Burley Griffin and his wife, Marion Mahony Griffin. The original building reflected the Griffins’ principles of subordinating houses to the landscape, preserving access to and views to native bushland and being sensitive to natural features.  The home was substantially altered in the 70’s with the addition of aluminium windows, plasterboard ceilings and other features fashionable at the time. At the request of our clients we restored the original features and added an updated kitchen, bathroom and service areas. The additions are streamlined and integrate into the building’s interior without causing distraction from the integrity of the original home.
