The Glenferrie Lodge, established in 1907 in Kirribilli, has primarily functioned as an accommodation facility and has undergone multiple upgrades while maintaining its Federation Arts and Crafts architectural style and presentation within the streetscape. Winim Developments engaged Rothelowman Architects and GBA Heritage to enhance the building by adding three luxury apartments and upgrading its 42 rooms into boutique-style accommodations. Following thorough analysis and consideration of several development options, the project received approval from the NSW Land and Environment Court in early 2024.

Hornsby Council issued consent for this project on 26 June 2024 and construction is expected to commence in the near future. A significant extension was required to allow this small Inter-War Old English style brick cottage in a Heritage Conservation Area to accommodate the anticipated number of residents and visitors. GBA Heritage’s research and analysis allowed later additions to be identified and removed, while our design advice helped to ensure compatibility with the original house and the Conservation Area.
