Hy Brasil, Heritage house in Clareville, Northern Beaches, Australia.
Built in 1936, Hy Brasil features local rock faced Hawkesbury sandstone construction with large picture windows and exposed internal stained timber rafters and beams.
The land was initially part of a 490-hectare grant to John Joseph Therry in 1833, later subdivided for villa sites within the Pittwater Estate.
The residence takes its name from a mythical Irish island called Brasil, which according to legends contained the Garden of Eden.
The house incorporates verandahs surrounding the main living space and includes terraced lawns that extend down to a sandstone cliff.
Hy Brasil represents one of three organic houses designed by Alexander Stewart Jolly in Avalon, demonstrating integration with the natural landscape.
