12 Harley Road
Meticulously crafted as a modern Australian sanctuary, Harley House in coveted Avalon Beach in Sydney’s north embodies a seamless connection between architecture and landscape. Enveloped by an organic tapestry of tall native grasses, eucalypts, coastal flora and pandanus palms, the residence offers an immersive experience of place and season.
Designed by architect Angus Wirth for his parents as a multigenerational residence, every space within the home engages in an ongoing dialogue with the natural surrounds. Bespoke craftsmanship is expressed through refined concrete finishes and carefully articulated clerestory windows that invite abundant natural light deep into the interior. A series of expansive glass sliding doors dissolve the threshold between inside and out, revealing a tranquil pond, a north-facing plunge pool edged by a timber jetty, and long, uninterrupted views across the picturesque backdrop.
Here, design and environment exist in considered harmony, offering a retreat defined by serenity, detail and a profound connection to the coastal landscape.
