Architect Designs a Light-Filled Contemporary Home with Breathtaking Ocean Views (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
Balancing a striking southern perspective with a warm internal character, Grandview House overcomes the limitations of its former self. Created by Ian Bennett Design Studio, the contemporary home undergoes the tactful renovation of a pre-existing family dwelling.
Situated on the southern side of the Mona Vale headland, Grandview House once existed as a cold and uninviting residence with only minimal access to sunlight. The collaboration between Ian Bennett Design Studio and the clients - one of whom heads Northern Beaches Constructions - sees the house transformed into a warm and contemporary home, capitalising on views of Mona Vale Beach, Long Reef and Manly.
Entering the contemporary home, a walkway bridge sits above the ground floor, delineating two voids which allow sunlight to stream into the home. Further into the residence, the kitchen-living-dining area flows towards the external southern aspect. Upstairs, two children’s bedrooms branch off from the bridge, whilst the southern side of the house encloses a master suite, ensuite and an additional children’s bedroom.
An open plan format expands the visual field, softening the sense of transition between spaces and encouraging residents to explore the contemporary home. Voids crafted to the east and west draw natural light into the residence - as do apertures inserted into the awning - with louvre windows maximising cross-ventilation.
Crafting authoritatively in a maritime location, Ian Bennett Design Studio nods towards its working history in the Northern Beaches region. Grandview House stands as an intuitive response to its site; a contemporary home that effortlessly captures natural light and inspiring southern views.

Not my cup of tea…..but can still appreciate this. Thanks for sharing.
love the vacant space, makes you want to breath deeply.
Beautiful family home . It was great to ask the kids what they wanted . Every detail taken into consideration brought this gorgeous home to light. Love it .
I just love the space & the view itself! The home compliments both. I love its simplicity yet very family friendly home. Thanks Local Project
This may be one of my favorite designs. I love the kitchen palette. The concrete awning and void add unique touches.
Es muy agradable de vivir. Un lugar hermoso sin pretensiones. Habitable en todo el sentido de la palabra con el abrazo de la luz.
The level of timelessness and refined elegance in this project is marvellous. The way it maximises natural light provides a real sense of relaxation and warmth. Well done!
Beautiful home. Incredible location. Love the furniture, and the amount of light + glass. Not a fan of residential concrete, but makes perfect sense on large bodies of water. Very sophisticated, but liveable. I appreciate the amount of ventilation offered, but my fingers are crossed they installed central heating and air. Everyone needs it these days, even if you think you don't. Another winning home down under!
You put any house in a gorgeous place like that and it will look great.
smartly said and accomplished. beautiful space. thank you for sharing.
I absolutely love the concrete!

Well that’s what separates different architecture and designs right? What materials are chosen

Probably an architect's favorite word lol. Of course, that's because the materiality basically reflects and tells the story of the design and the philosophy, otherwise it's just design for the sake of calling it "design".

Feel the serenity. Feel the materiality.
Genious
It would have been nice to see the bathrooms.
I love the dinning table and chairs. What brand are they??
❤
I wonder how long that back counter is in the kitchen/eatting area?
Great design! I am confused, though, was this a new construction or remodel of an original house (must've been a pretty new, modern house then, right?). Also, the house has 3 levels but they show only 2, I think. Am I wrong?
If some blueprints could be put in. Former and design we get a better view. Now its a lot of words.
Builder must be charging too much mate ,, I’m only jealous 😉
A big house on Mona Vale headland.... Holy shit it would be worth $20m
How much does this house cost with a view like this ?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
What is the price?
Location, baby!
It's nice but there is nothing new/special
Seen it all before lazy design
Nice looking! 😀😀
These videos are turning out to be all the same, you could do with showing the floor plan rather than predictable slow Mo moments. An actual walk through rather than this over melodramatic stories.
