Crescent House, A Mediterranean-Inspired Retreat With Views That Are Distinctly Australian
Inspired by the nostalgia of Greek island holidays, Crescent House channels a Mediterranean spirit through a distinctly modern Australian lens. A collaboration between Andrew Burges Architects and Robert Plumb Build, the freestanding residence crowns the cusp of North Bondi with incredible views that sweep across from the ocean to the city skyline and Harbour Bridge, a panorama that is unmistakably Sydney. Bold sculptural forms are softened by a natural earthy palette, creating a home that feels at once grounded and transportive. With a -five bedroom family residence and private self-contained apartment, the retreat-style home is framed by inspiring gardens by Dangar Barin Smith that play a formative role in the success of the design with spaces to relax, gather and entertain. Interiors are a masterclass in contrast with Endicott stone floors, raw American Oak joinery and timber-lined ceilings balanced by curated vistas, while bespoke finishes and custom lighting infuse the spaces with warmth and atmosphere. Soft curves lend an organic quality, echoed in the sculptural pool, while Venetian plaster walls capture the light in a luminous glow and huge arched windows frame magical sunsets over the iconic city skyline. A study in quiet restraint and enduring craftsmanship, Crescent House embodies liveable luxury, an easy walk to Ben Buckler's village cafes and yoga studios, and 5 mins to the north end of Bondi Beach.
