Casa Figueira
Named after and centred around the century old heritage protected fig tree: Casa Figueira is a home nestled into its surroundings.

Mosman House
The Mosman House is a ‘Brazilian Modern’ inspired home perched on Sydney Harbour overlooking Taylors Bay.

The architecture juxtaposes ideas of solidity and intimacy, with lightness and extroversion, all beautifully crafted by the hand of County Constructions for our generous and supportive clients. More
