In a commanding position on the hillside of South Coogee, with views from Ivo Rowe Rockpool to Wedding Cake Island and across Coogee Bay, this extraordinary residence is a collaboration between The Design Commission and Brian Van Der Plaat, receiving accolades in Australia and globally for its healthy and environmentally sustainable design. A stunning fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian style, the home features distinctive forms and materially rich spaces that combine to offer a luxury home with a sustainable footprint. Peaceful and private, shielded by lush, tree-lined gardens, this incredible property is composed on a 575sqm block that is one of the largest in South Coogee.
