The rejuvenation of one of Bondi Junction’s most prominent corner sites at Ebley Street and Bronte Road, currently home to Club Bondi Junction RSL, with feature private outdoor spaces, a rooftop with a series of fragrant ‘secret gardens’ and interior finishes inspired by nature.
Capital Corporation’s founding chairman Steve Grant, says ‘Bond’ has been planned to create a new future for the club as an ongoing heart of the community, transforming it into a stylish new destination for a new era. The result is a contemporary building that will give the club its new chapter and the community a buzzing new destination that retains and restores its heritage aspects, and adds a sophisticated, residential retreat right in the centre of one of Sydney’s most dynamic urban areas.
Group GSA’s external design includes distinct ‘butterfly wings’ providing an elegant yet whimsical facade above podium level. At podium level, 10 apartments have the option to upgrade their tiled and decked landscaped courtyard spaces to turf. Inside, Koichi Takada’s team created two different high luxe interior schemes in either a lighter or richer tone, dawn and dusk. Generously proportioned, apartments feature stone kitchens and many offer expansive balconies. Spa-like bathrooms will include a ‘curved shower’ with skylight, and bath recess with porcelain tiles and organic-shaped fittings and fixtures.
The landscaped 350 sq m rooftop was designed by Urbis. Residents will have private access to an outdoor cinema, barbecue areas, private nooks and a yoga lawn. Hardy, low maintenance plants such as Bismarkia palms, and agaves complement the curved inbuilt seating, while crepe myrtles, little gem magnolias, and scented jasmine will bring a softness to the rooftop retreat.
