Bondi Beach is known for setting new benchmarks, especially when it comes to prestige property. Avra, the iconic suburb’s newest grand-scale luxury residential offering, is making waves thanks to its sophisticated architectural design, large north-facing layouts and high-end finishes.

Located at 135–155 Curlewis St, only steps from the famous beach and the landmark Hotel Bondi, Avra will soon to be home to 18 spacious three-bedroom residences and three and four-bedroom penthouse-style homes balancing beachside serenity with urban elegance.

Named after the Greek goddess of “breeze” and playing homage to its natural landscape, Avra is the eighth project in Sydney’s east created by Clutch and is designed in a creative collaboration between PDB Architects and Woods Bagot.

The building’s concrete blades, curved architectural forms and ethereal screens echo the shapes, colours and textures of the eastern beaches.

“AVRA has been inspired by the wavelike sculptural forms that define each dwelling. The spirit of movement is captured within the flowing forms and soft tonal edges,” says Paul Buljevic of PDB Architects.

Tracey Wiles of Woods Bagot said the brief by Clutch was to create an address as equally iconic as its globally-recognised location with the splendour of a luxury Mediterranean villa.

“These residences have such grandeur and scale that they feel like true private homes. Down to the finest detail, we’ve considered every aspect. That’s the thing about Avra, it’s immaculate detail on a grand scale,” she adds.

“We curated kitchens and bathrooms with a lovely sense of curvaceousness. The materials, the soft sandy textures and tones: it all reflects beachside elegance and quiet luxury.”

Each house-sized apartment has an neutral interior palette that is a nod to the local sand and natural coastline of Bondi while expansive living spaces open up to reveal large private balconies. The kitchens are to feature curved Champagne quartzite bench tops as well as Gaggenau, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Whispair and Miele appliances with fully-equipped butlers pantries. The deluxe ensuite bathrooms have double stone vanities, centrepiece stone bathtubs, Onyx lighting fixtures and infrared saunas.

Every residence opens to a private gallery with an internal atrium courtyard filled with dappled light, soft breezes and a botanical backdrop by Myles Baldwin Landscape Design including olive trees, agaves and prickly pears that will grow and mature over time.

Residents will have access to a concierge for everything from reservation bookings and housekeeping arrangements to dry cleaning and pet grooming.

The Curlewis St address is footsteps from Bondi Beach’s vibrant coastal lifestyle offerings with the legendary stretch of sand, a buzzing café culture and world-class restaurants metres away.

On the ground floor, a carefully-curated selection of retail stores and eateries will blend with Bondi Beach’s unique aesthetic.

Avra offers a rare chance to own a grand north-facing luxury residence in one of Sydney’s most legendary areas.
