Roseville

Alterations and additions to a character home in a conservation area

“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.”

Are there planning or heritage controls in Roseville?

Yes. Roseville falls under Ku‑ring‑gai Council’s jurisdiction, which includes heritage and conservation overlays. These regulations affect building height, façade treatments, setbacks, and landscaping. We ensure projects align with council controls while delivering contemporary quality.

How did the design enhance livability without compromising style?

We redesigned the internal layout to maximise daylight and fluid movement between living areas and outdoor zones. High-quality finishes and thoughtful furniture flow improved both aesthetic and functionality.

Can this architectural style be applied in other North Shore suburbs?

Absolutely. The design principles used—light enhancement, refined detailing and contextual sensitivity—translate well to homes in Turramurra, Pymble, Killara, Lindfield, and Gordon.
