Bondi House is a fascinating example of how modern architecture can be successfully “softened” by allowing nature its well deserved role. The residence consists of a first level timber tube above a ground floor brick volume. Natural lighting is invited indoors through skylight penetrations and generous floor-to-ceiling windows facing the inner courtyard.

Deep door reveals in the kitchen and living areas frame smaller spaces within the open plan with light and rhythm. The doors themselves emphasize this further by sliding completely clear of their openings”. [Photography: Tom Ferguson]
