Geberit Case Study Tamarama House Hero

Case study: Standing the test of time: Tamarama House, Sydney

Perched high on a headland overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this home crowns a clifftop in Sydney’s seaside suburb of Tamarama. The sparkling setting is flanked by the famous foreshore and the house basks in strong Australian sunshine and sea breezes. The salt-ravaged elements and extensive damage from the corrosive locale needed to be replaced, as did the abode’s four bathrooms.

This case study highlights the renovation of a clifftop home in Sydney’s Tamarama, where Forest Building was tasked with restoring the property while tackling the challenges of salt corrosion and extreme environmental conditions. The project included a redesign of four bathrooms, requiring custom solutions to maintain consistency despite using both in-wall and undercounter concealed cisterns. 

Geberit concealed cisterns were chosen for their durability, having withstood over 20 years of harsh conditions, and their impact-resistant, leakproof design proved essential to the home's long-term success. The cisterns not only saved space and enhanced the bathroom’s modern aesthetic but were also easy to install and maintain, with Geberit providing valuable ongoing support throughout the project.
