David Droga plans new home for Tamarama headland site

Adman David Droga and wife Marisa will build a new mansion on the Tamarama headland in Sydney’s eastern suburbs that uses bricks, tiles and sandstone from the now-demolished Lang Syne home they acquired for $45 million last year to form windbreaks around the concrete slab home.

New York-based Mr Droga, who grew up in Perisher Valley in NSW’s Snowy Mountains, has appointed Luigi Rosselli Architects to design a replacement to the 1924 red brick home on the windswept coastal promontory between Tamarama Beach and Mackenzies Bay.
