HOUSE
bondi
A thoughtfully reimagined heritage bungalow in Bondi, designed to bring together timeless architecture, contemporary family living and the calm simplicity of Tropical Minimalism.
brief + design approach
THE BRIEF: Transform a dark inter-war home into a light-filled family sanctuary while respecting the home's original character. The focus was on creating spaces that felt calm, connected and functional for everyday living.
DESIGN APPROACH: Steel-framed glazed doors were introduced to draw natural light deep into the home and strengthen the connection between indoors and out. A restrained palette of natural materials, bespoke joinery and carefully curated furnishings creates warmth, simplicity and longevity.

Rather than one hero feature, it's the balance between architecture, light, materials and landscape that makes this home feel so effortless and enduring.
