Dover Heights Residence III

Perched above the valley between Bondi, North Bondi and Dover Heights, this six-level residence captures sweeping ocean views from every level. Horizon delivered the final stage of its transformation, unifying the home into a cohesive contemporary coastal retreat.

Working closely with the clients from earlier phases allowed for careful planning and coordination across a complex, vertically structured home built into a challenging hillside site.

A defining feature was the relocation of the swimming pool to the main entertaining terrace, five storeys above ground. The new infinity-edge pool anchors the outdoor living spaces, appearing to merge with the horizon while enhancing the home’s connection to its setting. Reconfigured terraces and a sunken lounge create a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor living.

Materiality and craftsmanship are central to the project. Expansive glazing frames uninterrupted views, while vein-matched natural stone flows from terraces into interior spaces. Bespoke joinery and refined detailing reflect Horizon’s commitment to precision and quality.

The result is a sophisticated coastal home that balances structural complexity with understated luxury — crafted for both everyday living and elevated entertaining.
