The plan reads as three boxes—a solid, polished black concrete ‘pillbox’ base; a two-storey black vertical timber central element; and, a floating lightweight glass ‘conservatory’ that houses the master suite.
The clients wanted a black house, so the materials needed to be able to handle that. They also needed to be durable due to the proximity to the beach. For that reason concrete and Accoya were chosen and teamed with black joinery.
The concrete features a diamond-brushed stone finish, which also was used inside the home as well as a response to minimising the number of walls.
Full-height stacking doors slide back into specially designed cavities to create a sense of complete openness and a seamless flow to the outdoors, imparting a really generous feel to the home.
The ground floor features a three-metre stud height, which also contributes to the sense of spaciousness.
A deeply patterned stone was chosen for the island benchtop and the splash back, along with darkly stained timber cabinetry to continue the visual aesthetic established externally.
To maximise every square metre of the site and to create an expansive feel to the property, several access points were created between indoors and out to impart a pavilion-like feel to the downstairs.
Situated in its 'conservatory-like' glass box, the main bedroom revels in almost 180-degree views of the water.
The colour palette for the main ensuite has been lightened to create a more ethereal feel than the heavy, darker tones found throughout the rest of the home.
An emphasis on outdoor entertaining and relaxing gives this house a resort-style atmosphere, ideal for family get-togethers.
Given the home's proximity to a public walkway, privacy was a big concern for the owners. A series of horizontal louvres were established on the upper level to impede passersby looking in but still allowing the owners to enjoy the view.
