Barefoot Luxury

While staying true to a relaxed bach aesthetic, this little beauty on the Coromandel Peninsula also ensures that every holiday at the beach is luxurious. Clever touches to the 120sqm floor plan include a discreet integrated office space, allowing work to blend happily with holiday living when required. Birch ply brings a calming, natural warmth to the interiors, while the contrast of black accents with touches of soft green creates a sophisticated yet soothing look.

Two beautifully appointed bedrooms — one with ensuite — sit privately down one end of the rectangular footprint, with a shared bathroom enjoying dual access from the inside and outside via the laundry. Unwanted wet and sandy footprints on the polishedconcrete floors are a thing of the past. The generous kitchen wraps around two walls of the open-plan living area and an island bench on castors ensures flexibility in this space where there’s room for everyone. With the impressive over slider door fully open, the outdoors become one with the indoors. Sliding screens protect this alfresco room from prevailing winds and the harsh midday sun, while skylights in the raked ceiling usher in light. An expansive open fireplace encourages outdoor living into the small hours. With every essential within reach, the living is easy at this gem, which captures the essence of modern coastal living.
