Client brief:
Our brief was to create a modern family home that better utilised the modest site and embodied the essence of Bondi Beach holiday living.
Design solution:
Working within the confines of a compact site, the layout has been carefully designed to maximise use of all available space and create functional multipurpose areas.
The home and electric vehicle are solar powered, minimising environmental impact. Home automation streamlines lighting, temperature, and security control. Robust insulation included in the floors, roof, internal and external walls, optimises acoustic and thermal comfort.
Expansive sliders across the rear connect the open-plan living area to the garden, extending the overall space, and a retractable pergola awning provides all-weather shelter over the entertaining area. A prefabricated tiled pool is integrated for a custom look at lower cost. Breezeway block walls and linear screens create privacy and filtered light-plays, complemented by low-maintenance landscaping.
Durable pre-finished external materials have been selected to create a low-maintenance palette inspired by the beach.
The interiors feature nature-inspired neutral tones, textural tiles, and soft timber accents. Carefully curated furniture and décor complement the overall aesthetic and material selections, and the palette harmoniously carries through to the exterior, extending the sense of overall living space.
