Modern family home in Long Bay, completed in 2025, featuring an open-plan living area that harmonizes indoor and outdoor spaces, complemented by a natural palette and a striking combination of warm cedar cladding and black detailing.

Located in Long Bay, this family home is designed to create a clear balance between shared living and private retreat. At its heart is a generous open-plan living area, where raking ceilings and large openings draw in natural light and blur the line between indoors and out. The kitchen, dining, and main lounge flow seamlessly onto an outdoor living space, creating a unified zone for connection and entertaining. A natural, earthy palette grounds the home in its setting — chosen to sit quietly within the landscape and complement the tones of the surrounding environment. This calm materiality is expressed through warm cedar cladding contrasted with sharp black detailing, giving the home a confident yet welcoming street presence.
