When an accomplished – and obviously talented – interior designer takes a 1920s Gentleman's bungalow near the beach and turns their vision into an extended reality without compromise on some 744sqm…
Expect a union of then and now so gob-smackingly beautiful in the Brighton High School zone, it belongs on the pages of Pinterest and high-end design magazines.
The front door opens and so does your jaw; dropping to the lime washed timber floors that soon become temperature controlled polished concrete with salt and pepper aggregate below soaring ceilings.
Smooth yet so dramatic, the transition from beautifully preserved bungalow to a mind-blowing meeting of Hamptons and ultra modern is instantly realised on a lasting journey of form and function – ending where decked alfresco perfection begins.
Mimicking the open space and gabled silhouette of a church, the extension – with floor-to-ceiling double glazed stacker doors and stone-framed floating fireplace – is the big, bright and inspired connector between the master suite and spell-binding kitchen…
Think waterfalling stone atop the largest of islands and handle-less cabinetry; all cast in white to contrast with smokey mirror splashbacks, Miele appliances, black Franke sink and a gabled window salute to the extension.
Even the skylights are as much a functional work of art as the bathrooms below them; including an ensuite with freestanding tub, full-height porcelain tiling, matte back tapware and double vanity.
The measured allocation of concrete, stone and glass is softened by ambient mood lighting; the Baltic pine floors, leadlight and intricately decorated ceilings of the original home; and that Hamptons style deck that wraps around the rear and faces a double garage with fully lined loft.
And when you realise it all sits just a 9-minute walk from the beach, it's a case of vision complete in one very enviable locale. Don't let it go.
