Check out our entry into the House Of The Year Awards 2026!
Positioned across three levels and designed around its waterfront setting, this 336sqm home embraces light, outlook and easy movement between indoors and out, while maintaining a calm sense of retreat. From the street, the architecture makes an immediate impression with strong geometric forms and carefully balanced proportions. Yet despite its scale, the home avoids feeling formal. Instead, the design prioritises gathering, entertaining and the rhythms of everyday life. The lower canal level has been conceived as a social zone centred around a generous rumpus room with space for games and relaxed hosting.
Nearby, the garage has been adapted into a flexible overflow sleeping area with integrated bunks and its own bathroom, helping the home accommodate changing guest numbers, without compromising comfort. The middle level is the heart of daily living. A substantial kitchen creates a natural meeting point for family and visitors alike. Two separate living areas provide room to spread out, while a media room allows quieter moments. Throughout the three-bedroom, threebathroom layout, spaces have been arranged to offer both openness and privacy. Interiors with considered detailing ensure the house feels as comfortable in everyday use as it does when hosting special occasions.
Confident without feeling imposing, this is a refined coastal residence designed equally for entertaining and retreat.
