Bondi Rescue

Moving two doors down the street gave a creative couple the chance to build their dream beachside home in Bondi

who lives here?

Aaron Crothers, an art director and production designer, Jackline Sassine, a props stylist, their daughters Mali, 16, and Pascale, 13, plus two-year-old cavoodle, Bean.

WALKING IN FROM THE BEACH “barefoot and flopping around in swimmers” is the kind of dream existence Aaron Crothers and Jackline Sassine envisaged for their beach-loving family, so when a house on a bigger block two doors down from their previous home in North Bondi came up for auction, they went for it. “It was a pretty spontaneous ‘let’s build another house that is more us’ decision,” Aaron says.
