Defined by its innovative design, sculptural boldness and tactile materiality, Ramsgate Avenue represents a dynamic yet naturalised addition to its tightly-held Bondi locale.

Both complementary and contrasting to its architectural surroundings, the apartment building conjures a balanced yet rejuvenating urban presence. Its design splits the building into two predominant forms, aligned along a north-south axis and divided by an open, central circulation core. This approach not only breaks down the building's scale but also harmoniously contributes to the rhythmic flow of the existing street elevation along Ramsgate Avenue.

With a strong focus on materiality, a deliberate textural juxtaposition provides the building with aesthetic notoriety which aims to complement the coastal locale. Smooth surfaces balance with ribbed elements, while matte, concrete finishes contrast with polished metal accents. A strong emphasis on shadow-play adds depth and dimension to the façade, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shade throughout the day. Integrated planting to the northern façade organically softens the building’s presence when viewed from the street and heightens the residents’ connection to the natural environment.

Every aspect of its form has been crafted to enhance the quality of life for its residents. All ten luxury apartments benefit from natural cross ventilation and abundant sunlight, while thoughtfully oriented southward to capture breathtaking ocean views. Curving blade walls elegantly frame these views, adding an artistic touch to the living experience. Aiming to straddle both timelessness and innovation, Ramsgate Avenue’s detailed design captures the spirit of its Bondi neighbourhood, uniting principles of contemporary refinement and enduring form.

MHNDU has established a strong reputation in our industry based on our unique blend of technical excellence, commercial acumen and forward-thinking design sensibility. We have cultivated a timeless portfolio of over a hundred works specialising in developments ranging from bespoke houses and small to medium size multi-residential projects to large scale urban renewal projects within the Eastern Suburbs and Greater Sydney area. Our projects are characterised by their confident, modernist statements tempered with an intimate knowledge of local climate, lifestyle and culture.

At MHNDU we understand that the development approvals process is one of the most challenging and daunting prospects for our clients. We have built our name on our ability to engage and mediate the processes involved between clients, council, neighbours and major stakeholders. We assist our clients’ assessment of their site’s development potential through feasibility and early concept design studies for a wide range of projects. We assess the potential for bonus floor space via voluntary planning agreements, affordable housing schemes and exceptions to the planning controls to increase the yield of our client’s sites.

We are proudly affiliated with interior design studio Lawless & Meyerson, experts in intentionally cultivating interior spaces which complement the architectural concept and elevate their client’s experiential sense of home. Headed by interior designer Jo Lawless, Lawless & Meyerson have collaborated with MHNDU on a range of multi award-winning projects, building on a wealth of experience and style of relaxed sophistication. From high-end bespoke homes to luxury apartments, each collaboration is treated individually and holistically from the inside out: a seamless blend of architectural expression and refined interiors.
