An architectural triumph of modernist design, this bespoke Bauhaus-inspired residence commands an unrivalled absolute beachfront setting. Completed in 2010, the home celebrates form, function, and a seamless connection to the ocean with galleries of floor-to-ceiling glass and a bold cubist profile.
At its heart, a spectacular 11m lap pool defines the home, linking two distinct pavilions by a covered walkway and creating a private resort-like sanctuary.

Focussing on the design and craftsmanship, this home is constructed to the highest specification with concrete slab foundations, double-brick, and 48 deep piles anchoring the build into the dunes; the Swiss-engineered aluminium cladding, fibreglass roofing, and box-gutter detailing has imported terracotta tiles from a Florentine family workshop dating back five centuries, paired with Alucobond finishes.
An expansive open-plan living crowned by a unique suspended French fireplace, heated polished concrete floors, and slotted cherry veneer ply ceilings allows for an excellent acoustic experience
The interiors boast a master retreat with ensuite, robe, and balcony plus a second upstairs bedroom with robe and balcony, featuring split system air conditioning
A rear pavilion positioned with two further bedrooms, large bathroom, and full laundry ideal for a guest wing or home office. Bespoke cabinetry in rare African hardwood, a Blackbutt staircase, and Carrara marble kitchen benchtops sourced from Tuscany add warmth to the coastal space.
