Latest developments. By MARTIN KELLY New Year’s resolution becomes Newport reality Like so many other people, architect and developer Mark Hurcum awoke on New Year’s Day 2017 and decided to change things up. His resolution was to swap the house he had lived in for 15 years and move to a new abode and lifestyle on Pittwater. The good news is that, unlike so many other failed New Year’s resolutions made early that year, Mark delivered on his vision. It has been quite the process, but the result, Mitala Newport, is more than worth it – four beautiful homes tucked in the trees on the shores of Pittwater. “I went looking for a house for myself on Pittwater and found a whole paddock basically,” he tells <strong>dwell</strong>. What he bought was a 3600 sqm block over two titles with an old house plonked in the middle, owned by the same family since the 1950s. “It’s just a magic site, an amazing piece of Pittwater. It’s between the two yacht clubs, and they’re here for a reason because it’s the most protected part of Pittwater.” The site had a few development restrictions but a lot of freedoms as well. “As an architectural challenge it was exciting and interesting.” One of the main development requirements was to mimimise the impact on the remnant gum forest which surrounds and frames the four properties. “We worked around the trees and let them determine the form and shape of the buildings to some extent which is the reason they fit in so nicely,” Mark says. He adds it was liberating to work independently rather than being at the whim of clients, although as developer the design had to meet the market. ‘On a site like this there are different microclimates.’ “Doing four houses meant I could really maximise how to live on the entire site – all the issues of community, privacy, environment – which you can’t normally do in a single house.” Typically, many developers work on the cookie cutter approach, applying a core design across the entire site because of time constraints and costs. “But on a site like this there are different microclimates and it was important each house relates to its specific environment,” says Mark, who has been designing homes in Sydney for the past 30 years. “They share some similarities – their palette and materials for example – but the way they respond and work with sun and light and space is different. “I think that’s one of the things people find when they walk in here – each house is really well thought out and individual. “If you are doing good design, it should relate exactly to where you are. It’s a far more enjoyable way to work and creates a real richness and sense of place and space.” Mark and his wife Linda, who work together at MHDP Architects, now live in one of the two waterfront houses and absolutely love it. Their dream matches the reality. Time for you to make a resolution? There are still two properties available at Mitala Newport: the second waterfront house (complete with jetty and boat house, pictured main + kitchen) is for sale with a price guide of $10 million, while one of the two street-front houses is also on the market with expectations of $5 million (pictured living room).
