Globally renowned for its beaches and a vibrant local community, Bondi is the heart of Sydney’s glamourous Eastern Suburbs and one of the most sought-after postcodes in Australia. While the eclectic locals and unmatched seaside lifestyle often take centre stage, Bondi’s architecture is just as distinctive and memorable as its location.
Bondi boasts a mix of architectural styles ranging from classic red bricks to contemporary designs including the iconic Art Deco apartment blocks built in the 1930s and 1940s. Recently, Bondi’s architecture has evolved to include sleek and modern designs that reflect its growing affluence and portray a true reflection of the suburb’s creative and diverse spirit.
