The brief
A Collaroy Beach home where the brief asked for one thing above all: a home that feels as relaxed as a weekend away, every day of the week. Cross-ventilation was prioritised over mechanical cooling, and the material palette was drawn directly from the coastal context.
The response
White vertical shiplap panelling runs through the entry and living areas, establishing an interior language consistent with the beachside streetscape. The open-plan kitchen and living space is centred around a custom-tiled island that became the family's primary gathering point. Cross-ventilation is designed into the floor plan to reduce reliance on air conditioning.
