Tucked into the beachside suburb of Curl Curl, this home is a calm and grounded retreat that plays with contrast, light, and materiality. A refined palette of textured timber and smooth concrete gives the house a natural, tactile quality — softening the sharpness of its contemporary form. Sunlight filters in from all angles through a considered mix of glazing through the location of considered skylights and windows that create moments of brightness shifting throughout the day.
In the bathrooms, deep-toned tiles bring richness and warmth, offering a personal and expressive counterpoint to the neutral palette. The architecture is quiet but intentional, with layered spaces that feel connected to the outdoors and anchored in their environment. This Curl Curl home is a relaxed, confident expression of coastal living — both robust and refined, built for the everyday.
