A home designed for calm moments in an otherwise busy executive life.
Bondi Terrace
Furnished and styled by top3 by design
Tucked within the sun-drenched heart of Sydney’s east, this artfully restored terrace blurs the lines between Scandinavian restraint and Australian ease.
It’s a home that speaks softly, yet confidently, through a carefully considered selction of furniture and accessories. From the moment you step inside, a curated calm washes over you.
Nestled just beyond the entry, this intimate front nook invites quiet retreat. A buttery leather sofa rests beneath the soft glow of oversized pendants, framed by plantation shutters that dapple the space with gentle afternoon light. It’s a space designed for slow moments, where the day’s pace can soften, and the simple joy of reading, reflecting, or simply being feels entirely intentional.
Overhead, overscaled pendant lighting punctuates the room with playful proportion, while beneath, a tightly woven wool rug anchors the setting in warmth and texture.Further in, the space elongates into a gallery-like corridor where a glass-framed staircase floats with architectural poise.
The dining area unfolds in tones of soft mocha and pale timber—Leya chairs by Freifrau sit effortlessly beneath a trio of sculptural pendants, their tactility speaking to the home’s human-centric design. Shelves adorned with ceramic vessels and design tomes act as silent narrators, telling stories of form, travel, and intention.
At the rear, the home opens completely... literally and figuratively.
A second living zone spills into a manicured garden through full-height glass bifolds, with a suspended Cocoon fireplace drawing the eye like a levitating sculpture.
Polished concrete floors give way to greenery, grounding the space in elemental contrast. Here, an oversized original Indiginous artwork adds quiet drama, while a gently curved sofa invites long conversations and barefoot lounging.
Throughout, a palette of soft neutrals, lifted by the occasional burst of colour in textiles and vessels, this home sets a mood of understated elegance.
There’s nothing excessive, yet nothing is missing.
This is a home that doesn't shout.
Instead, it sings...in perfect harmony with its architecture, its furniture, and most of all, its owners’ way of living: grounded, discerning, and beautifully at ease.
