Osborne House plays with time. A day spent at the house may fly by – but at the same time there is also the curious experience that time has elongated. A day can feel like days in this calm and inspiring space.

But this is not a fact of the house alone. Osborne House, designed by Richard Leplastrier, Karen Lambert and Ian Martin, like other work by these architects, invites the natural world into your reckoning. And it is amazing what the combined whisperings of she-oak and ironbark, and the changing moods of the Pittwater, can do to the psyche. For the forest canopy and the mood of the National Park comprise the true living room of the house.
