This project, for Jack and Jess, was an extensive renovation to bring their beachside home in Austinmer in line with their tastes and needs.

Architect Jessica Bradley from BASE devised a new floor plan into the existing footprint to create a new master bed with ensuite and walk in robes that maximises beach views, an additional 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a laundry and a guest suite or home office.

New joinery was installed throughout using a mixture of new age veneers and poly in coastal tones, with Patagonia stone benchtops supplied by Euro Marble.

To ensure a large space fit for entertaining, the kitchen was opened up to a new north facing outdoor area that features a Blackbutt timber deck and awning. The result is a secluded and shaded space by the pool that draws in views of the stunning Illawarra escarpment.

To create yet further space for guests, the original garage was transformed into a new 1-bedroom cottage complete with a kitchen and lounge room.
