72 The Serpentine, Bilgola Beach NSW 2107

The brief given to the award-winning architect seemed straightforward: build it to last forever and ensure the entire residence is drenched in winter sun. Positioned on the cliff face at Bilgola Head, the result is a flawless pavilion design of extraordinary craftsmanship and integrity; its singular design vision is revealed in many small details, while the overall impression is one of Zen-like simplicity. The home is undeniably sophisticated - soaring interiors spaces with clean minimalist lines are beautifully matched by the warmth of polished timber and a robust palette of natural materials. Not only does it capture all day sun, every perspective creates a unique frame for the magnificent coastline, with views all the way to North Head.
