Panorama House, An Award-Winning Masterpiece With Unrivalled Views
A true one-of-a-kind, Panorama House is anchored to its site with a commanding position on the sandstone escarpment overlooking Bronte Beach affording incredible views over the beach and ocean from almost every room. Visionary design by Richard Cole Architecture combined with an exceptional build by Jeff Towler Building has delivered an awe-inspiring home that has been crafted to endure in the landscape and achieve a deft balance between solidity and transparency with a striking canopy roof adding movement and rhythm to the scene and delivering some serious wow factor. A robust yet restrained palette of materials features concrete, glass, sandstone, timber and zinc that endure in the landscape and weather beautifully over time. A sculptural curved design provides a sense of sanctuary and aligns with the topography with a striking double-height void at the heart of the home that engages with the unobstructed views beyond. Accessed via a cobblestone drive, the three-storey home is wrapped in a sun-drenched garden with places to relax, entertain or play with a heated saltwater pool and spa that seemingly floats over the ocean. Passive environment design credentials, an exceptional layout and masterful craftsmanship have created a home that is not only epic in scale but a joy to live in. Serving as testament to the quality of the build and an exemplar of contextual environmental design, Paramount House was the 2019 winner of the NSW HIA-CSR House of the Year award and Waverley Design Award.
