A Sustainable Minimalist Reinvention

This coastal home has been thoughtfully reimagined, honouring its original bones while embracing a new chapter of sustainability, simplicity, and connection. To the light. To the landscape. To a more conscious, minimalist way of living.

The design retains the existing structure, reconfiguring the layout to suit contemporary life. Spaces have been opened up, circulation improved, and the relationship between rooms rebalanced, enhancing functionality while preserving the home's original charm.

The renovation introduces a sculptural new roofline that draws light deep into the interior and promotes natural ventilation. The form is deliberately minimalist quietly framing views, capturing breezes, and softly defining space without excess.

Founded on passive design principles, the articulation of thermal glazing was carefully considered alongside improved insulation levels to enhance air tightness, optimising natural light, heat retention, and overall energy efficiency throughout the home.

Indoors and outdoors flow seamlessly, blurring boundaries and reflecting the rhythm of coastal life. A restrained, earthy palette of sustainable materials; timber, lightweight durable cladding and low toxicity finishes grounds the home in place, offering warmth within a minimalist architectural language.

The result is a home both familiar and renewed: a sustainable, efficient, and elegantly pared back retreat that reconnects architecture to nature and living to intention.
