“Our Baxter project was a careful modernization of a 1904 classic California bungalow. Ceramics, matte finishes, natural materials and uncovering of expansive views drove the design. A central artery of millwork allowed us to create generous storage where it had previously been lacking. A custom bookshelf climbs two stories to house an extensive literature collection. The kitchen and closets were designed for ease of use and hiding of clutter. The light fixtures were hand made by local ceramic artist Heather Levine.”

"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."

“We worked closely with the clients and the architect to bring this Bondi property to life and ensure it was a space that was reflective, not only of its surroundings but also of the young family who would be inhabiting it. From the relaxed rendered walls to the amazing marble and joinery details, the home is a masterpiece in architectural details and personality.”

“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.
