Thorne Group is proud to present The Dunes, a stunning beachfront project completed in 2025 that exemplifies timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. This classic-style residence seamlessly blends traditional design elements with modern sophistication, creating a truly distinguished home by the coast. The use of cedar cladding adds a warm, natural texture that complements the pristine beachfront setting, while the detailed attention to craftsmanship ensures every aspect of the build is crafted to perfection.
The existing bach was thoughtfully retained as a charming studio space, now seamlessly integrated into the new build to serve as a functional and inviting part of the home. The project celebrates outdoor living with thoughtfully designed spaces that capitalise on the breathtaking scenery, creating a perfect harmony between indoor comfort and coastal beauty. Thorne Group’s craftsmanship and careful detailing have resulted in a home that is both a private retreat and a testament to exceptional building traditions.
