The Pymble Entertainer

“We are so happy we used Playoust Churcher Architects for a major renovation of our Lower North Shore home. This complex architectural job combined advanced engineering, design and innovation and a creative approach to modern living. Playoust Churcher supported us from conception to completion – and well beyond.

 

They understood our lifestyle and desire for a collaborative approach and delivered us a dream home with which it would be hard to be happier. We’re delighted to recommend Playoust Churcher to anyone building or renovating a prestige home in Sydney.”

Justin & Marek

“We provided a very detailed brief on the design and the requirements both in terms of how it would support our family as it grew over time in addition to the design features that were important to us. We were thrilled with the concept and design they delivered. It ticked all the boxes.

 

We felt very confident the team understood our brief in terms of the design and how we hoped to live. They also showed an understanding of the financial requirements and cost issues that are really important whenever you undertake any renovation project.”

Nadia & Jamieson

 “Playoust Churcher Architects had an inherent understanding of the brief, and the design created a classic Roseville family home with wonderful proportions, depth and detail.

 

It’s now recognised as a stand-out in the area – people slow down and stare as they drive past.”

Kate & Scott

“When Brett and John came they just listened. John is so talented that we just trust him. I told John what I wanted our home to look like and to go for it. John can draw the designs upside down all by hand and you know exactly what he is doing. He is really talented and that was very obvious from the beginning. He is so passionate about what he does.

 

They were respectful of costs and just listened to what we wanted. There is a lot to say for architects that listen. The house works perfectly with our needs – there is a flow that works beautifully.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pymble fall under heritage or conservation planning controls?

Yes. Located in Ku-ring-gai Council, Pymble is subject to conservation regulations that ensure building form, materials, and street presence respect the suburb’s traditional character. Our designs balance these controls with modern architectural outcomes.

How do you design a home for entertaining without sacrificing everyday comfort?

We create flexible zones for entertaining that flow into more private, cozy areas. The Pymble Entertainer layout prioritizes kitchen proximity, outdoor living, and guest circulation while maintaining tranquility and usability for residents.

Can this entertaining layout be adapted for other homes in the North Shore?

Absolutely. The principles of light, flow, and spatial zoning used here can be applied across luxury homes in suburbs like Killara, Turramurra or Roseville—always tailored to fit local planning rules and site characteristics.
