Between Nature and Sustainable Architecture: HESSENTIA in Sydney

Located in Manly, Sydney, overlooking the picturesque Shelly Beach, Holocene House is an innovative residential project with architecture by CplusC Architectural Workshop and interior design by Jase Sullivan. Conceived to create a harmonious connection between architecture and nature, the residence combines contemporary design with a strong commitment to sustainability.

Surrounded by lush greenery, the house features open living spaces, natural materials and large glass surfaces that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. A natural swimming pool flows through the heart of the residence, while colourful stained-glass windows create a distinctive interplay of light and reflections.

Within this distinctive living space, the Gio sofa by HESSENTIA, upholstered in a warm ochre tone, stands out with its soft, sculptural silhouette. Surrounded by contemporary artworks, expressive furnishings and natural materials, Gio contributes to the eclectic character of the interior, creating a harmonious balance between Italian design, art and architecture.
