Oceanbeach Road House

Architect : Craig Flowerday Design Builder : Business Dynamix Photographer : Jay Drew Photography As a location, Oceanbeach Road is a stunning starting point for a new build. From an interi-or design perspective the joy of being given a blank canvas is that the format and décor can reflect and enhance not just the exterior design, but the requirements of the family. In this case a purpose built dance studio has been incorporated for the daughters: while for the parents there are beautifully planned entertainment areas. There is a reading nook for quiet time, and indoor/outdoor space is maximised by the flow onto decking from both bedrooms and the open plan living zones. Meanwhile the kitchen boasts pocket door fea-tures for ease of living and an integrated fridge which disappears within the dark stained oak full height joinery. Aesthetically there are matt finishes and natural textures – oak tim-ber flooring, pure wool carpet, linen, Tundra tiles, granite benchtops and oak custom cabi-netry; and with them comes a sense of calm which breathes through the home. And then there are the style pops. A sculptural fireplace in the living room, stunning glass pendants throughout, and clever colour notes are juxtaposed against the neutral palette. Altogether the look and feel is one of connection with both the environment and the family.
