Bondi House / Nick Kent Design

The home is primarily a study in lightness, expressed through its suspended structure, materiality, and relationship to its site. Designed for Nick Kent's own family and design studio, the house consists of an open-plan living area and native garden on the ground floor, with the three bedrooms and studio space on the upper level elevated to make the most of northern sun, with a screened terrace facing the street. From the outset, there was a desire to test materials and structural systems to achieve a sensitive, adaptable response to the site's microclimate.
