ARCH1202 S2 2008 - Exercise 1 - Area Photography

View to oval from site



Street access


Coogee Beach: Drawn in to the oval and site by the configuration of the urban voids

Bordering cliffs to Coogee Bay: a characteristic element of the Sydney shoreline


Characteristic materiality in the area: Coogee's early 20th century social expansion means there is a large number of heritage listed buildings in the area. The materiality and construction of these informs the character of the area. Sandstone masonry, brickwork, and timber latticework figure prominently, and inform a style of Post-Edwardian 'beachhouse'
