Cocktails by the pool

Posted on Mon, 10 Apr 2023 by midcenturyjo

LAHAUS has taken a terrace house in the Perth suburb of Cottesloe and created a coastal home for family and friends that feels like being on holiday all the time. Stylish indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, relaxing yet chic spaces and lush landscaping. You’ll find me by the pool, cocktail in hand.

Beach chic

Posted on Thu, 6 Apr 2023 by midcenturyjo

“A property becomes a destination when it speaks to the culture of a particular moment; it comes to life when filled with an audience that gets it.”

Oh I get it. I get it. Chic beach living in Montauk is a dream that can come true. You can actually rent this getaway. I’ll just daydream it’s mine all mine. Edison Bungalow by Studio Robert McKinley.

Bundeena House

Posted on Wed, 29 Mar 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Set in the bush and beach hamlet of Bundeena, this house is a contextual response to the local vernacular of modest fisher-cottages. Its single-storey, timber-clad form wraps around a sunny central courtyard, enjoying a large north-facing garden. Conceived as a sustainable kit-home prototype, the design follows a strict mathematic logic in its construction. The sense of beachside calm belies the rigour and precision in the plan.”

Simple lines belie the considered design of this beach house with its seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living. Bundeena House by Tribe Studio.

"We opted for a colour palette that eschews the expected coastal bright whites and cool blues for a sophisticated pairing of sun-kissed terracotta ­­and earthy khaki with judicious accents of soft blues and greens ... Fun, youthful and relaxed, the home sparks joy for its inhabitants and visitors, but above all it is a practical family home where function is paramount."

Definitely not your clichéd beach house or Brutalist concrete bunker this Palm Beach, Sydney home takes both styles and turns them on their heads. PLAYA House by Hugh-Jones Mackintosh.

“The house was inspired by New England cottage style, a nod to the coastal homes built on this boulevard in the 1930s. Our goal was to bring back that charm and create a warm, family friendly environment without sacrificing an elegant edge. With no exposed drywall throughout the house, we placed focus on materiality decorative lighting, and collectible design elements.”

With an emphasis on the artisan and vintage this beach house is unique and packed with personality. Beautifully curated and sourced it certainly isn’t a clichéd interpretation of coastal living but a celebration of place and space. Ponte Vedra by Miami-based Bunsa Studio.
