AI summary
Discover Ōmaha's landmark Gallery House, a unique property designed by Ponting Fitzgerald Architects. Known for its windowless concrete facade, this home offers complete privacy by opening onto a vast, sun-filled internal courtyard instead of the street.
The spacious 443m² interior is perfect for displaying art and features a striking main suite wrapped in oxidising copper. Listed by Precision Real Estate, this architectural retreat blurs indoor-outdoor living while being just minutes from the beach and local amenities.
Textural concrete walls wrap the base of the house, which has natural light pouring in via a large, landscaped inner courtyard.
Passageways and bedrooms open to the sunny courtyard, along with the large, open-plan living area - this also opens to the rear of the section.
The kitchen continues the minimalist feel of the architecture.
Two bedrooms and a passage are to the right of the courtyard, with another passage on the left. There is a fourth bedroom or family room near the entry, which can be closed off from the passage.
The architecture guarantees privacy - it also helps that there is a council reserve at the rear.
Large sliders open up the bedrooms to the courtyard.
Timber lines the ceiling of the copper volume.
The house is one of the most striking buildings in the beachside village.
The drone view highlights the form of the architecture, which leaves ample lawn space around the house. The section is 1197m².
