In collaboration with Stewart+Stewart Interior Design Studio, a new three-storey residence has been crafted on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, tailored for a large family to enjoy holidays, weekends, and celebrations together.
The home welcomes its occupants with a grand entrance from the triple garage that opens up to sweeping views of the beach and ocean beyond. A central staircase, alongside a lift, ensures effortless access and fluidity between all levels of the house. The design strategically places all bedrooms on the middle level, each with access to a wrap-around balcony that boasts unobstructed ocean views, allowing for private retreats within the home. Following the natural sloping topography of the site, the main living areas are situated on the lowest floor, merging into a spacious terrace and swimming pool area, perfect for family gatherings and entertainment.
The material palette is deliberately limited and dark, with stone, zinc, and glass dominating, complemented by green roofs. This choice ensures the building melds with the landscape, offering a modern and uncluttered aesthetic that resonates with the tranquil surrounds, yet stands as a testament to contemporary design.
