Paloma reimagines the post-war ‘pigeon-paired’ semi as a sophisticated coastal home. Crisp steel framing articulates a modern form that respects yet evolves the original typology and doesn’t displace its adjoining sister. Central to the design, a glazed floor aperture pierces the home’s core, cascading natural light deep into the characteristically dark interior. This interplay of transparency and structure creates a luminous sanctuary, balancing the density of Bondi with an enduring sense of openness.
