Winner of the RAIA 2007 Merit Award for multiple housing; this brilliantly-conceived four bedroom home is a celebration of light, space and the call of the ocean blue with its ceaseless cabaret of playful dolphins, ethereal sails and fiery sunsets.

The two-storey home is one of a striking rectilinear pair that shimmers on an elevated platform above the beach, cleverly minimising the road to afford seamless Gulf views as far as the eye can see.

A sequence of vertical fins shields the generous ocean-facing balcony, channelling views from the interior where two glazed voids slice through the upper level to heighten the sense of space and light.

Beauty shines out of this home both in design detail and choice of materials. Glass, marble and Alpine Ash provides a fluid continuity that mesmerizes for its daring. Soaring sheets of marine-grade glass open up the views; a long island bench is wrapped in impossible lengths of pristine Carrara marble while timber skywalks bridge the dramatic two storey spaces, linking an intriguing open living area that appears to float above the designer kitchen.

Marble is again the choice of material for floors in the ground level living spaces, neatly split by shallow flights of steps to differentiate the formal lounge from the entry and, again, from the dining and kitchen area. Here the monumental island bench, Smeg stainless steel appliances including two ovens and flat profile cabinetry with secret access to a large walk-in pantry and wine storage will steal the heart of the aesthetic gourmet.

Sliding doors to the rear study allow clear views of the ocean from the walled courtyard where you will choose to dine alfresco all summer long in complete peace and privacy while a side patio offers a pleasant alternative for a coffee break.

Beach goers and guests alike will appreciate the consolidation of utility and wet areas to provide a sleek downstairs bathroom and laundry with floor-to-ceiling storage, which features prominently throughout.

Upstairs the double bedrooms are luxuriously carpeted to please with more premium built-in storage. At the front, the master is all open plan romance with its sweeping ocean balcony and luxurious bathroom featuring a mirror-faced privacy wall, marble topped double vanity and glass-encased shower and toilet.

You will find it hard to spot a single detail that has not come under careful consideration. From electrically operated blinds, video intercom entry, zoned climate control and security systems to the super-sized auto double garage at the rear with direct access to Seaview Road: its all here!

Though indisputably a shining beacon of contemporary design and functionality, this stunning home will complement your chosen lifestyle and furnishing preferences, all the while within easy reach of the city, airport, great schools and fine dining at Henley Square.
