This, award winning three level home redefines the modern beach house for the east coast of Australia. It is minimalistic architecture mixed with a very practical beach feel. It’s clever in design as you can sit protected from any sea breeze in a winter-warm courtyard or swim in the 15m infinity-edge lap pool while overlooking the surf. Soaring ceilings and brilliant use of spotted gum hardwood timbers, polished concrete and zinc enhance the visual effect. It is a liveable house with a fabulous separation of accommodation many and rooms for the modern family. The spaces are interesting and harness natural light. The gourmet kitchen has a thoroughly contemporary, almost-industrial look where airline-style overhead cupboards are backlit and are a quirky addition. Hydraulic rams open up the kitchen windows and in doing so, fill the whole house with natural ventilation. The look is simple – smooth, clean surfaces, dramatic ocean and beach views. The terraces are huge. It’s a smart home with finishes to counter the elements which just become more interesting with age. Bluestone floor tiles make for comfort underfoot. This is a real beach beauty.
