Eco-Friendly Beach House With A Parents' Retreat, North-Facing Native Garden And Ocean Views

A family haven that has been designed to harness the northerly sunshine and tread lightly on the environment. In a dress-circle setting with a breezy stroll down to Bronte Beach, the great drama of the house lies in the epic contrast between solidity and transparency with views to the ocean from the east and out over Bronte Gully to the north. Huge swathes of glazing reveal a breathtaking wall of verdant foliage and glorious sunshine with a north facing native garden with a bionised freshwater pool and a rooftop garden designed in alignment with Waverley Council's biodiversity plan. Dramatic double-height ceilings and a barrel-vaulted roof create a close connection with the sky, sea and air with the top floor devoted to a luxurious parent's retreat. Built to capture winter sunshine and shelter from summer rays, the five-bedroom home is spread over three levels with a choice of indoor and outdoor living spaces and internal access to a double lock-up garage. The freestanding beach house features an 11.22kW solar power system, 15,000L concealed rainwater tanks and Cat7 cabling with automated blinds and three-phase power ready for home automation.
