Once in a generation an idea emerges that forever changes the way we see the world in which we live. A concept so breathtaking in its beauty, it redefines our aesthetic touchstones.

A structure so sublime in its design, we wonder how it had not been imagined sooner. A home so unique, it demands our attention.

Creating a home worthy of the world’s best address is a venerable task. The spectacular natural beauty of Sydney Harbour is the backdrop to some of humanity’s most iconic architectural achievements. To add to this stunning panorama takes a delicate hand, an intuitive eye and an inspired spirit.

Architects Kram Unther have achieved nothing less with Ø House.

Named after the Danish word for ‘island’ in deference to the architectural heritage of its most renowned neighbour, Ø House has been defined by its privileged place in the world.

Rising up from Farm Cove between the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Opera House, the home appears to float like a delicate lily-pad on the Harbour, its organic form harmonising with its surrounds.

Standing out while at the same time blending in, Ø House is a masterpiece of ethereal balance.

Sculpted concrete gives the home its organic curves and slender profile, with natural timbers and sandstone enhancing the aesthetic. Glass and nautical grade stainless steel have been used throughout to ensure a home as enduring as it is timeless.

Natural light and ventilation are central tenets of the design, with tidal power generating the home’s electricity supply.

NASA-first technologies have been incorporated into the home’s waste management system to help achieve a 5-star rating from the EPA along with certified carbon-neutrality.

Inspired by the Botanic Gardens adjacent, the roof canopy cascades with native grevilleas, acacias and wildflowers. Its stepped concentric circles create a botanical amphitheatre, allowing late afternoon sun into the central courtyard. The greenery helps insulate the home, regulate its temperature and provide filtered water for the toilets and irrigation.

The lifestyle Ø House enables is impossible to define, as it has simply not existed up until now.

Arriving via the Aqua Portico, you’re at once aware this is a home like no other. Configured around a central marine garden, the home radiates outwards to capture the stunning 360° panorama. This dramatic home is bathed in natural light, with the layout flowing in synchronicity with the arc of the sun. Every living space, along with each of the 6 spacious bedrooms, commands sweeping floor to ceiling views to the City, Opera House and Bridge, Sydney Heads or the Royal Botanic Gardens.

The radial design offers a perspective of the infinite, an environment where hard edges are unseen, and every curve foreshadows an even greater sensation beyond. An outer courtyard curling the home connects the inside spaces to the Harbour surrounding them, dramatically enhancing the sense of floating on water. Collectively these stunning features give the home an other-worldly sense of serenity.

And all the while, you’re encircled by the energy of one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities, lapping at your feet.

Behind every architectural milestone lies a team of visionaries. Led by Founder and Creative Director Mark Hunter, Third Aesthetic has created Ø House to showcase the vertical integration of their capabilities.

From branding to final visualisations, the venture is testimony to their passion for next-level design excellence.

Their multi-disciplined creative team are committed to extraordinary achievement, bringing to life ideas that forever expand the constraints of what is possible.

The Ø House project has been their most triumphant, showcasing their technical skills, design flair and commercial acumen.
