strong vertical emphasis, giving the dramatic
street presence required. However, the front of
the home maintains privacy and offers little hint
of the expansive interiors and views to come.
“The interiors play up the home’s proximity
to the coast and its views, with an emphasis on
natural tones seen in the polished concrete floors
with beach-coloured stone aggregate, a lush
cream carpet and the timber balustrading,” says
Bhaskar. “In fact, earthy tones and the warmth of
wood run right through the home.”
The entry hall leads straight ahead to the
ground-floor bedrooms with their own shared
deck. However, visitors climb the stairs or take
the lift to reach the public areas and master suite.
Straight ahead at the top of the stairs, is
the master suite and a small study. The latter
achieves privacy from the street thanks to the
fixed external fins on the front of the home.
The generous-sized, private master suite is
separated from the living spaces by a deck that
cuts into the floor plan, dividing the two areas.
To the left at top of the stairs is the approach
to the open-plan living zone at the other end of
the home. A long, faceted wood cabinet creates
interest in this through area.

storage cabinetry provides visual
interest on the way to the home’s
open-plan living-dining-kitchen space.
The deck that noses in between the
living area and master bedroom is
directly to the right. Concrete floors
with a pebble aggregate contribute
to the relaxed coastal feel required
by the owners and help draw the
large space together. Black window
joinery provides contrast to the pale
interiors and helps frame the views.
