What is the ‘big (IDEA)’ behind this project?
The brief was to create a beach house that was light and fresh, whilst paying homage to the raw and unspoilt landscape of the area. Generously wide blackbutt floorboards and hardwood panelled walls are complemented by the dramatic Ghost Story light fittings by Geoffrey Mance, making reference to the scrubby native woodland. A palette of eucalypt green, black and warm ochres gives a modern touch to the interior while denoting the surrounding coastal environs.
