Bilgola Plateau 2107 New South Wales Australia
Nestled in, yet perched high above lush rainforest, this mid-century coastal home with modern flair feels like a coastal retreat. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, glancing off pale tiled floors and warm timber beams before spilling onto a sweeping deck that seems to hover above the treetops. From the moment you step inside, the house feels like a sanctuary ... peaceful and private, there is a distinct sense of balance: modern refinement softened by the rhythms of nature.
The split-level design immediately creates a sense of theatre. The imaginatively-designed bespoke kitchen anchors the space with sculptural presence. Fluted timbers, marble tops and curved lines juxtaposition beautifully with the angled windows and glass balustrades which dissolve visual barriers. The palette - tonal whites, honeyed woods and muted neutrals - serve as a canvas for shifting light and leafy views from every angle. Nature is never out of reach.
Inside, details like sculptural driftwood, lush indoor plants, eclectic soft furnishings and dramatic floral touches carry the outdoors in, blurring the boundaries between built form and natural beauty.
What makes this home truly captivating is its effortless harmony. The architecture is striking, the styling is refined but never precious. This is a home designed not just to be seen, but to be felt - a sanctuary where elegance and ease meet under and within the canopy of the trees.
