A Rare Gabriel Poole Original
Architecture in the Rainforest, 7 Minutes from Currumbin Alley sand.
Set within 1,780m² of lush rainforest landscape at the Currumbin Ecovillage, 1 Pobblebonk Place is a rare original residence designed by Gabriel Poole, one of Australia's most influential proponents of environmentally responsive architecture.
Conceived around the natural contours of its setting, the home showcases Poole's distinctive pavilion architecture, curved forms and a remarkable connection between the indoors and the surrounding rainforest.
The original Gabriel Poole architectural drawings remain with the property, offering a rare and tangible record of the architect's original thinking and design process.
This is more than a home. It is an opportunity to become the custodian of a distinctive piece of Queensland architectural history — an original Gabriel Poole residence immersed in nature, yet only minutes from the coast.
