“Somers Beach House occupies a prominent beach fronted property overlooking Westernport Bay with expansive views to Phillip Island and beyond to Bass Strait. The house sits on the steepest section of the site, with two generous levels acting independently of one another. It is designed as an inter-generational holiday house, with a focus on the upper level of the home being comfortable when occupied only by a retired couple.”

Now that’s the way to do a beach house. I’m packing my bags. I guess I can just turn up uninvited. A sensitive and considered approach to people and site. Somers Beach House by Melbourne-based Wellard Architects.

Colour, pattern, textiles, flea market finds and carefully curated antiques. Everything considered but nothing “precious” … except the experience. The place, the memories, the lifestyle. Family and friends, the smell of the sea and a home that holds relevance to the owners. Cape Ann Summer House by Reath Design.

“As soon as you walk into this home you feel at ease. Every surface tells a subtle story and goes beyond the norm of a traditional home. The warmth of the exposed brick, Blackbutt timber joinery, textured rendered walls and the array of handmade tiles makes the home feel heavily considered and undoubtedly harmonious. We drew inspiration from Spanish villas and farmhouses; the raw materiality, the minimalistic nature of them and the saturation of texture and fluidity of indoor/outdoor living.”

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.

“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.
