Architect buys Clovelly home featured on Grand Designs
Title TattleJune 24, 2020

Architect Paul Buljevic from PBD Architects and his wife Marijana now call the Clovelly project that appeared on ABC’s Grand Designs series their home.

It fetched $7 million through the Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agency, who had a $6.5 million price guide.

The sale settled late last month, but exchanged in early March just before the lockdown onset of COVID-19 when the estate agency reported there’d been a quick 10 to 15 per cent price fall by mid-April. 

The agency sent shockwaves with its forecast that coastal prestige prices would fall another 10 to 20 per cent — and not recover for five to seven years.

The Clovelly home was featured in Grand Designs Australia in 2012 when constructed in Melbourne as four modules.

The pods were trucked by convoy to Sydney and lifted into position to create the uber-modern, two-storey residence. Now featuring a jet-black ­exterior, the zinc and timber clad customised home has four bedrooms and a home office.

It was architectural firm Pleysier Perkins who designed the home, which last sold for $6 million in 2017 to car dealer Steve Nasteski.
