Bismarck House, in Sydney’s Bondi, was named after the majestic palm that the house gently stretches around on its laneway facade. Min Dark, the Project Architect from Burges’ office, noted that the practice conducted an analysis of the site to determine what to celebrate and what to screen. Playful fenestration tied in with the considered detailing of the brickwork wall stepping back at the boundary offers landscaped moments to the laneway.
Interior design was undertaken by David Harrison and Karen McCartney of Design Daily Interiors – long term collaborators of Will Dangar. The pair worked closely with Julia Dangar, focusing on natural woven materials, cork and timber, and mixing vintage pieces with new ones.
The dining chairs featured in this project are Maruni Lightwood chairs, designed by renowned furniture designer Jasper Morrison. This collection is available in Australia from SeehoSu.
