40 Gardyne Street

Bronte NSW 2024

Overlooking Bronte Beach with northerly views to Ben Buckler, this epic masterpiece was designed by Neeson Murcutt Architects to take full advantage of its ocean outlook with strong geometric forms and a robust design softened through wildly exotic gardens that are woven into the fabric of the fort to create a smooth and sensual beach home. Conceived as a series of inter-connected pavilions, the garden forms the integral living element of the home with sandstone outcrops incorporated into the home creating a liveable, breathable and decidedly glamorous beach house. A material palette of concrete, timber and stone forms a dramatic counterpoint to the lush greenery of the award-winning gardens designed by 360 Degrees as a sequence of private spaces to relax, play and entertain in the sunshine. Through the combination of materials, the home becomes a place where the celebration of nature and connection is fostered through open living spaces while a highly practical layout features a parents' retreat, children's wing and guest suite. A private double block on the corner of Pacific Street is one of Bronte's biggest with parking for four cars, multiple living spaces and a poolside entertainer's cabana. Winner of the 2018 AIA Award for Residential Architecture and 2018 Houses Award for Best Garden, the six-bedroom home offers a perfect blend of party and paradise a breezy 300m down to the sand, surf and beach action.
