Clad in a material that you can buy for $25 a metre, this Bondi home triggered a bidding war.
Translucent fibreglass sheeting that sells for $25 a linear metre is unusual in architect-designed homes. Sheds? Of course. Back patios? Bring it on. Chook pens? Cluck yeah.
At 350 square metres, Clifton House is three times the size of Gill’s home and was done on a much bigger budget. But both open to the street, feature outdoor baths and use some sort of shielding that allows light to spill onto otherwise dark streets, where curtains and shutters are closed at night. “It is a brave client that goes for super knotty timber,” Gill said of Clifton’s reuse of the Oregon.
That was also the case for Clifton. He had expected to live for decades in the house with his wife and three children, and also trusted his architect.
