The pavilion form was the inspiration for this three-bedroom family home that delivers the architectural style the clients wanted, plus plenty more. Split over two levels, the 209sqm house has sight lines throughout to create a sense of space, and a double-height living area connects the ground floor with upstairs. It’s a dramatic design move that anchors the rear of the property to its outdoor living spaces. Downstairs, you’ll find the open-plan living, kitchen and dining zone in gleaming white with black accents, such as feature lighting hanging from the lofty ceiling. The kids’ zone is in a separate wing downstairs and also accommodates overnight guests. This area contains a separate laundry and large storage areas tucked behind sliding doors. A striking black balustrade leads you upstairs to the mezzanine where you’ll find a library, study nooks and the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. This was designed to be a stylish, efficient and warm forever family home that makes the most of its beachside location. It’s fair to say, mission accomplished.
