1 Major Street, Coogee, NSW 2034

Conceived as an extension of its magical setting, GB House unites architecture and nature in one extraordinary elemental composition. Anchored to the cliffs above Gordons Bay, Renato D'Ettorre's sculptural masterpiece is one of Australia's most celebrated coastal homes, winner of a host of awards including the 2019 Wilkinson Award and showcased extensively across the international world of design, film and television. Behind its enigmatic whitewashed facade, reminiscent of the architecture of the Aegean Islands, a perforated veil of glazed brick filters sunlight, shadow, salt air and glimpses of blue. The arrival is pure theatre with a reflection pond and the sound of waves breaking over the rocks below introducing the unobstructed ocean vistas beyond. From here, the house unfolds through moments of revelation and retreat, shifting between epic coastal vistas and deeply intimate spaces. Robust materials are softened by water, light and the constant movement of the sea while angled walls and carefully placed openings shape privacy and discovery. Immersed in nature, this is a home designed for shelter and privacy as well as engaging with the ocean with multiple living spaces, a state-of-the-art kitchen, gym and steam room, and subterranean music room and cellar. Five bedrooms include a whole-floor primary retreat with an ocean-view terrace and a self-contained studio with its own entry. At the ocean's edge, a heated infinity pool appears to dissolve into the vast Pacific horizon, while lush gardens cascade toward the cliff face below, with plans available for a breathtaking Ocean Terrace suspended above the sea. This is no ordinary house, but a profound expression of architecture's power to connect us with the natural world and elevate the everyday.
