78 The Bulwark, Castlecrag NSW 2068, Australia

78 The Bulwark, a generously sized four-bedroom family home, represents a unique opportunity for those who have been searching for a home that combines ‘good design’ within a natural bush setting. Set in an idyllic enclave of Castlecrag, the house feels as contemporary today as it must have felt on completion in the late 1960s.

It is a freestanding house designed by the highly respected and influential architect, W.E. (Bill) Lucas. He and his wife, Ruth, both architects, designed and built their family house at number 80 in 1957 – known as ‘The Glass House’. A daringly lightweight, minimal, timber house that was the first of four houses Lucas designed and built along this unspolit Castlecrag street, between 1957 and 1968.

78 The Bulwark is contrasted to number 80 by its solid construction but shares the same ethos of Lucas’ belief in minimal impact on the land.
