We wanted to create a coastal retreat that exuded a sense of calm despite its compact size. Using an earthy palette, we transformed this once tired and dull space into a functional, sun-drenched home.

A variety of vintage pieces, mixed with modern furniture brought a sense of Danish modernity to each space. We wanted to maximise the storage throughout the home, without introducing too much built-in joinery as this is a home that is meant to grow and change with its owners. The skylights highlight the concrete's natural aggregate, illuminating the orange stones and lush green plants scattered around the home.

Australia has some of the most beautiful flora and fauna in the world. The Northern Beaches is home to so many natural wonders, we wanted to incorporate deep greens, blue hues, and burnt oranges throughout the home to bring some of these elements in.
