Norfolk Penthouses – Luxury Harbourfront Apartments in Kurraba Point

Norfolk Penthouses is a boutique collection of luxury harbourfront residences in Kurraba Point, Sydney, designed by PopovBass as a refined response to one of the city’s most prestigious waterfront locations. Each residence occupies an entire floor, maximising privacy, outlook, and spatial quality, while capturing uninterrupted views of Sydney Harbour and the Harbour Bridge.

Harbourfront Living in Kurraba Point

Located on the Kurraba Point peninsula in Sydney’s Lower North Shore, the project is positioned in close proximity to the harbour foreshore with direct visual connections to the city skyline and surrounding landscape.

The development responds to the rarity of its waterfront setting, where opportunities for new architecture are limited, requiring a design approach that is both contextually sensitive and architecturally precise.

Architectural Approach

Full-Floor Residential Design

Each penthouse spans a full level of the building, creating residences that function more like private homes than apartments, with expansive internal planning and seamless flow between spaces.

This approach reinforces exclusivity and allows each dwelling to maintain a strong sense of privacy and independence.

Form & Harbour Orientation

The building is designed to prioritise its relationship with the harbour, with all primary spaces oriented toward panoramic water views and natural light.

Living areas open to generous terraces, extending the internal spaces outward and strengthening the connection to the coastal environment.

Materiality & Architectural Expression

The project adopts a refined and restrained architectural language, emphasising clean horizontal planes, a controlled material palette, and absolute precision in detailing. This ensures the building remains subtle within its streetscape, allowing the harbour setting to remain the dominant visual element.

High-End Residential Living

Norfolk Penthouses sets a benchmark for luxury apartment living in Sydney, combining architectural clarity with high levels of amenity.

Each residence includes expansive open-plan living and dining areas, full-floor occupancy for privacy, panoramic views across Sydney Harbour, and high-quality finishes and integrated design features.

This elevates apartment living to the level of a bespoke residential experience.

Spatial Planning & Experience

The planning strategy prioritises visual connections to the harbour from all primary spaces, a strong indoor–outdoor relationship through terraces and balconies, and efficient circulation and spatial clarity. The result is a series of apartments that provide both functional comfort and a heightened sense of place, directly connected to the harbour setting.
