Award Winning, Glass Pavilion Style Residence on the Waterfront

Set on a high cliff along the southern end of the beach, this property was conceived by Dawson Brown Architects and Caroline Casey. This inspiring residence located on the north east facing end of Great Mackerel Beach, consists of two lower living pavilions and an upper sleeping pavilion canter levered off the hillside. Perfectly positioned, and surrounded by the Ku-ring-gai National Park this magnificent home set over four levels enjoys an amazing, unsurpassed vista.

- Also known as the "James-Robertson House" the property has won numerous architectural awards, including a commemorative plaque for the British Institute of Architects Residential Architectual Award - World Category
- With three main living areas, there is seamless indoor/outdoor living between the pavilions and the extensive decking
- The climate-sensitive design allows the vast open areas to capture sea breezes from the South Pacific Ocean just out beyond the Bay. Sunlight is effortlessly filtered through folding hoods, mechanical blinds and eaves and long overhangs
- The entire steel structure is painted black, which helps the house fade into its natural environment.
- State of the art stainless steel kitchen, complimented by the stone wine cellar - 1,000 bottle storage
- Accommodation includes a glass pavilion master bedroom, with a separate teenagers retreat or guest quarters
- All fixtures, fittings and furniture have been exclusively designed and hand made for the home. The wood burning fireplace is an impressive feature
- The spectacular views from the site are of Pittwater, Palm Beach, Barrenjoey lighthouse, the mouth of the Hawkesbury River as well as afar to the eastern cliffs of the mid north coast and the Pacific Ocean
- Unique features include hand hewn sandstone walls throughout, corrugated copper roofing and walls complete with 100 year old blackbutt floors
- Truly a house for all seasons with all-weather blinds and louvers, specialised "radiant" heating with the asset of professionally landscaped grounds for easy maintenance
