Designer Ian Bennett told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “It’s been a career goal to be shortlisted for the Houses Awards as it is one of the highest honours for residential architecture.”
‘Eagles Nest’ has been shortlisted for the 2020 Houses Awards, in the New House over 200m2 category.
Designed by Ian Bennett of Ian Bennett Design Studio, Eagle’s Nest aspires to "balance and curate the experience of outlook and expansiveness, with privacy and seclusion. The restrained material palette heightens this experience of site, landscape and built form along with the changing dynamic of light and shade".
Ian Bennett told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “It is such a huge honour and very humbling to be nominated for such a prestigious award amongst some great architects and amazing projects. It’s been a career goal to be shortlisted for the Houses Awards as it is one of the highest honours for residential architecture.
A massive thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in this special project. Specific mention to the driving force behind the construction team: Paul Stines of Performance Concrete and Tony Cockle of AE Cockle Building for understanding the level of detail required and executing to such an exceptional standard.”

The Northern Beaches residence is perched on approx. 540 sqm of north-east facing land, protected either side by council and crown land to ensure privacy will always be retained.
Expansive open areas for living and dining flow effortlessly to recreational areas where a built-in BBQ area awaits with beer on tap, and swimming pool with outdoor shower.
Contemporary features include concrete ceilings, polished concrete floors and a striking black designed staircase between levels.

Negotiations are continuing for its sale following our expression of interest campaign.”
“The news of the shortlisting of such a prestigious award has only reinforced even further the ‘best in class’ standing that Eagles Nest has in the luxury residential market in Australia. This has been proven by such diverse enquiry from not only a local and national level but international interest has been strong as well.
The strong bespoke design elements added with the ‘one only’ panoramic coastline location, just confirms this an iconic coastal residence that will never be repeated.”
