Set on Sydney’s lower north shore, Headland House sees Clayton Orszaczky create a reverential response to the coastal context.
The clients requested a large family home that would evoke warmth, make the most of the site’s views and deliver practical family living. The architects explain that “the young family wanted us to assemble a simple house that was easy to live in, with details and materials they loved, while at the same time to capture the mesmerising views of one of Sydney’s unique harbor beaches.”

Behind Clayton Orszaczky are architects Rebekah Clayton and Michelle Orszaczky. Throughout the journey of their respective careers, “it seemed a natural fit to come together and support each other, therefore, we began Clayton Orszaczky in 2015,” says Michelle. Both Rebekah and Michelle take a highly personable approach to their work, driven by a broader disposition to engage on a personal level and continuously spend a great deal of time working on a brief with a client. “Our design ideas reflect the client’s hopes and aspirations for their home. We both love the craft of architecture, and we structure our practice so that we are involved at every level of the design process.”
“The young family wanted us to assemble a simple house that was easy to live in, with details and materials that they loved.”
Collectively, Rebekah and Michelle describe their design philosophy as emphasising the importance of how the simple yet unique elements of place, light, site features, and vegetation influence the overall architectural scope in residential design. At the same time, they work to consider a connection with the garden and landscape during the design process. For both architects, “siting a building well is the starting place for everything.”
