Luxury Bondi House, Sydney
Australian design studio Katon Redgen Mathieson has completed the Bondi House project. Completed in 2011, the four-storey contemporary property is located in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia.
According to the architects: “The contemporary Australian house occupies a narrow infill site, and has been designed to maximise its’ compact 120m2 site to capitalise on views across icebergs to the beach. The ground level accommodates the entry hall and two bedrooms; one, on the beachside opens onto a courtyard with a cut-out that frames the sweep of the beach, the other opens onto a garden courtyard planted with a stand of bamboo. A marble clad stair leads to the open plan living level with a central kitchen of bronze and dark brown stone. At each end three huge glass panels slide up and down to allow light to enter, ventilation and the magnificent views.
“To the east, one of the double height openings leads to a terrace with views to the ocean. The master bedroom above, leads to a dressing room and spacious marble ensuite. An internal lift connects to a basement level with two car garage, laundry, wine cellar, and service areas. A limited palette of high quality finishes are used throughout the contemporary Sydney property; white terrazzo, Calacatta marble, American Walnut timber and dark bronze. Externally, the street elevation is dominated by its dramatic glass and white marble façade.”
