Inspired by barn-like timber structures and at one with the garden, the Bondi family home of designer William Dangar is a natural wonder.
William Dangar is no stranger to transforming homes. As the creative director of his eponymous landscape-design business, he’s usually found in the garden, but has also undertaken building projects as part of his broader business, Dangar Group (behind the Robert Plumb outdoor furniture brand). One of his most recent projects is his own home in beachside Sydney.
Will and his wife Julia bought the 480m2 property in 2013. The corner block had a rundown California bungalow on it and was a good size for the area. There was a catch, however. “The block is shaped like a slice of pizza,” he says. “No one knew what to do with it.”
Where many saw challenges, the Dangars drew on their wealth of industry experience to see the possibilities. With all that space to play with, they could build a family home for themselves and their children, Summer, nine, and Tom, seven. It would have a fabulous garden, naturally.
