Snells Beach House

Some decisions change the pace of your life entirely. Trading an inner-city apartment for a new-build on the Snells Beach coastline is exactly that kind of decision. The design is organised around the view. Kitchen, living, dining, and master bedroom sit at street-entrance level, where the sea is always present. Below, the natural curvature of the land creates a quieter lower level - two guest bedrooms and bathrooms, each opening to an outdoor seating area and lawn. The exterior makes a confident statement. ABODO Vulcan Charred Cladding - inspired by the Japanese tradition of yakisugi - gives the home its striking black facade, richly textured and virtually maintenance-free. White bagged brick runs alongside it in deliberate contrast, a street presence that is both arresting and grounded. Low maintenance. High character. And a coastal lifestyle our clients have taken to completely.
