Through the architectural artistry of Oh Studio, this remarkable Japandi-inspired home celebrates the lived-in warmth of Scandinavian interiors and the quiet restraint of Japanese minimalism. Tucked away in complete sanctuary towards the rear, this location is just as good - weekend farmers' markets a stroll away, local favourites The Grocer and the Chef and Beaconsfield Wine Bar nearby, plus parklands, schools and the coast.
Comprising two distinct halves connected by a northern corridor, a modern Scandi barnhouse punctuates the sky, while opposite is a sustainable studio pod - ideal for intergenerational living or an Airbnb. The pod features a private patio behind greenery, with air-conditioning, two bedrooms, casual meals/living and a bathroom - finished in high-performance insulated panels.
The laundry is tucked behind the pod, while the corridor overlooks the u-shaped courtyard and sunken alfresco. Polished concrete flows past a study nook to a powder room and bathroom, in matching grey-and-peach hues, the latter complete with an open rainshower and Japanese bath. A bedroom sits alongside, while upstairs is the loft-inspired master retreat, with attic storage and an observation window framing the living below.
A soft pastel palette defines the barnhouse, contrasting the outdoor landscape beautifully, with the air-conditioned living, dining and kitchen hub flooded in natural light. Bi-folds stack open to the alfresco, edible greenery and all, with a private garden accessed off the living. The kitchen, finished in terrazzo and plywood, features an induction cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher, with a pantry down the side.
Honouring its solar passive principles, louvres welcome the rolling sea breezes through, with the bonus of ceiling fans. Outside, there's ample driveway parking, with a storage shed down the side, perfect to stash away bikes and surfboards - especially with the beach so close.
This is Beaconsfield House: a testament to thoughtful minimalism with maximum impact, where the architecture speaks for itself. What a joy to experience a home like this.
