Don't miss out on this months @home featuring Palm Beach Blue designed by Benn & Penna Architecture. On Sunday 23 August you can choose between two visit times, 11.00am - 12.00pm or 12.00pm - 1.00pm. Experience the interiors and exteriors as the designers explain how the residence was designed and conceived.
Perched upon a steeply sloping site in Palm Beach, a Northern Beaches suburb of Sydney, this beautiful house has the most spectacular views.
Designed for a large intergenerational family with the flexibility to accommodate a variety of occupants, the clients have a long family history in the area, with the new house replacing a post war era cabin built by the family’s previous generation.
Various fragments of the original cabin are retained, whilst others are reimagined to provide a subtle link with the past. Benn + Penna have retained an existing stone terrace and extended it along the landscape contour, establishing a platform for the new house to stretch across the views.
The restrained architectural form and deliberately modest built imprint ensures the clients requirements for a comfortable and relaxed holiday experience that don’t conflict with the natural beauty of the site. In this sense, its Benn + Penna’s ambition that this design hopefully contributes to society's understanding of how a relatively simple design can sit within the local environment, drawing from but not dominating it.
Don't miss out and book early as numbers are limited.
