A Bondi penthouse by Lawless & Meyerson withdraws from the beach’s spectacle, using material restraint, quiet layering and seasonal sensitivity to create a calm coastal sanctuary.
Behind a restored century-old façade in Bondi, a penthouse withdraws from the theatre of the beach. It looks outward — across a full 180 degrees of ocean and sky — but it does so without spectacle. Instead, this home chooses restraint., calm over display.
Designed by Lawless & Meyerson with architecture by MHNDU, the 260-square-metre apartment sits within one of Sydney’s most animated coastal neighbourhoods. Yet it feels deliberately removed from its tempo; Bondi’s crowds, colour and noise remain present, but at a distance — softened, filtered and ultimately held at bay.
