One of our favourite things about summer is escaping to the beach, where time seems to slow down and we can enjoy this life’s meaningful things to the fullest. To celebrate this Aussie summer feeling, we’ve created Coastal bathrooms and kitchens that will bring relaxed seaside vibes into your home all year round. Soothing pastel colours, textural terrazzo and blonde timbers evoke the breathtaking beauty of nature. To accentuate this connection to Mother Nature, we included organic curves that add softness to the space for the ultimate beach retreat at home. Our Coastal bathrooms feature gorgeous terrazzo tiles accompanied by a stunning solid-surface free-standing bath and a practical floating vanity. To emulate nature’s organic forms, we introduced curves throughout the design, with a free-standing arch mirror setting the tone for the room. The mirror’s soft angles continue into the bath, the floor-mounted bath tap, and the curved shower screen. The repetition of soft finishes and materials can also be found in the smooth timber look chosen for the vanity and the round handles that adorn its drawers. We selected brushed nickel for the tapware and accessories, which work perfectly with the subtly textured sage subway tiles to create a sense of serenity and calm.

This semi-detached inner suburban Edwardian home was in original condition but for limited 1960’s improvements to the kitchen, bathroom & laundry. The brief was to create a contemporary residence encompassing the heritage context with every modern amenity and embracing the opportunities of a rear northern exposure.
