Welcome to SUMMER (nearly). This issue is all about sensational houses by the beach, bay, river or harbour, which is such an Australian way of living for so many of us, and how we holiday if we don’t have the luxury of owning a beach shack ourselves. Living near the coast requires a few conscious design decisions around the elements, thinking about where the sun moves, from which direction the wind arrives, and how water – especially the salty kind – affects your project. So, with that in mind, be inspired by our edit of great beach houses. That means we’ve got all the fun stuff, too. Get ready for pool houses, open spaces with wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows, boatsheds (we love a boatshed!), great paving and plantings, lighting solutions and…

cheat sheet Who lives here Sam Fairless, managing director of LEAD Consultants, his wife Shanna, who did the interior design, and their children: Wolfgang, four; Raffa, two; and baby daughter Wild; plus dogs Molly and Walter, and a cat named Hanky. Style of home A Mediterranean-style home with five bedrooms, all on one level. Location Tallebudgera Valley in south-east Queensland, traditionally owned by the Tulgigin clan. The build took eight months from design sign-off to completion. Ensconced within the emerald-green farmland of the Gold Coast’s lush Tallebudgera Valley, a family’s sprawling hideaway basks in sunshine and seclusion. A verdant contrast to the iconic surf beaches and Instagrammable cafes drawing crowds a short drive away, this home’s country-coastal setting is idyllic. It was this sense of tranquillity that won the hearts…

A sense of coastal cool permeates the outdoor spaces enjoyed by Kate and Steve and their daughters: Emma, nine, and Ruby, six. Though they live on Sydney’s northern beaches, they rarely venture to the ocean just down the road because landscape designer Adam Robinson has delivered the beach to them in buckets and spades! The property was cool – too cool – in a less appealing way when they bought it in 2019. “The house was less than a year old and the garden seemed like an afterthought,” says Kate. “It didn’t have a real sense of itself and the basic functioning wasn’t there, plus the entertaining space was very cramped. And the stark, white house felt like a fridge, without warmth. We thought a well-thought-out garden could really differentiate…

Sofa beds used to be renowned for their lumps and bumps. They were uncomfortable, and their thin mattresses, coiled springs and ugly fabric were all part of the deal. Thankfully, things have changed and, today, sofa beds not only look great, they have mattresses that could rival your actual bed. “Many modern sofa beds use advanced mattress technologies and have evolved to offer improved comfort, aesthetics and convenience,” says Tanya Rechberger, the design development manager at King Living. Sofa beds are also much easier to manoeuvre than ever before. “The market is starting to simplify the complexity that’s been in older-style sofa beds for far too long,” confirms Adam Harrigan, design manager of furniture at Koala. “Customers don’t want hard-to-move mechanisms. They want sofa beds that are simple to open…

From budget blooms like cornflowers and poppies to daffodils, jonquils and foxgloves; or self-sufficient superstars like roses, bearded…

A chilly stark-white facade welcomed the new owners of this weatherboard home in Sydney. For much-needed softness and warmth, they turned to landscape designer Adam Robinson to work his magic with lush greenery.

Whether it’s a dining spot on your verandah, a poolside lounging zone or a fully equipped alfresco area, an awning can take it to the next level of backyard bliss, whatever the weather. Here’s how to choose the right style. SPOILT FOR CHOICE Looking to attach an awning to your home or another solid structure? A retractable arm awning might be your best bet. “This type of awning is a great option if you want to open and close the awning, so you can have shade when you need it and sun when you want it,” says Vera Meharg, group marketing executive at Luxaflex. “It’s a flexible option compared to a stationary awning, which can’t be retracted in winter and means you can’t maximise the sunlight and heat to warm…

LA DOLCE VITA Inspired by Chloe Matters’ own wedding in Puglia, the outdoor kitchen of the designer’s previous Sydney residence is a masterclass in the same pared-back materiality present throughout the masseria-style abode. Concealing the pizza oven in plaster serves to provide both form and function, allowing it to sit within the space without becoming the main feature, mirroring the minimalist interior from which it flows. Design Chloe Matters, Matters + Made Architect Klaus Carson Studio UPPER CRUST For the owners of this modern Mornington Peninsula farmhouse, creating an outdoor area that provided an environment for year-round entertaining meant a pizza oven was an absolute must. Positioned in the split-level dining area and open to the varied coastal elements, the ready-made Polito wood-fired oven came completely waterproof, weatherproof and corrosion-resistant,…
