This new-build family home is all about that easy, beachy lifestyle. Designed to be low-maintenance and spaceefficient, there’s nothing to do here but relax on the wide cantilevered decks — with spa pool — and take in the glorious water views. Clad in Abodo eco-timber and classic corrugated Colorsteel, the exterior feels like a laidback beach house but inside are all the amenities required such as a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas are cleverly set out to make the most of a modern family lifestyle. Even the garage works hard, managing to slip in two car parks in a tandem formation. The Complete Kitchens clean, white kitchen with feature lighting has a mirrored splashback so you don’t miss a second of the action out on the water. The ensuite, main bathrooms, powder room and laundry all follow the same look and feel. For You Build, there was nothing easy about the construction, however. A steep site with existing properties on all sides meant access was very difficult, and required intensive engineering especially in the retaining walls and foundations. There’s no arguing that the beautiful end result was worth it.
