Allambie Heights, NSW, Australia
The Space
A contemporary coastal home set high among the treetops, designed to make the most of its elevated northern aspect. Soaring ceilings and a full run of clerestory windows draw the surrounding bushland into the living spaces, with glimpses of ocean visible through the tree line, a backdrop that shifts through the day as the light moves.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living zone is generous and well considered, anchored by a large timber dining table and a sleek white kitchen with island bench and bar seating. Full width sliding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening onto a covered alfresco with built in BBQ and outdoor dining that sits level with the treetops. The result is a home that feels simultaneously connected to the landscape and sheltered within it.
Outside, a landscaped pool garden with organic stepping stones, dense low planting and a freestanding outdoor shower offers a quieter, more intimate setting alongside the pool. The white rendered exterior with timber accents and stone paving reads cleanly against the natural surrounds.
A well equipped family home with strong architectural bones, multiple indoor and outdoor zones, and natural light that works across the full day.
