Spanning two floors of a beautiful coastal home on the Redclife Peninsula, north-east of Brisbane, this renovation transforms a once dark interior into a light-filled, open living environment that harmonises with its oceanfront setting.
The brief from the homeowner called for a minimalist and organic aesthetic that reflected the home’s coastal location.
To achieve this, mystoryco. opened up the living area to 270° ocean views, plenty of natural light, and ensured the materials selected smashed the brief out of the park.
A restrained palette of white, timber and subtle metallic finishes were used to draw the outside in, creating an airy, calm atmosphere that feels both contemporary and timeless.
The kitchen was completely demolished and replaced with an open and inviting space that aims to connect with the living and dining areas. The new layout features a butler’s pantry and servery windows opening to the outdoor deck, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
A long curved benchtop in Staron Sanded Icicle with batten timber detailing and an integrated sink in Staron Bright White introduces a soft, warm finish that pairs naturally with the timber-look undermount cabinetry and flooring.
Staron solutions were noted as an ideal fit for the homeowner’s vision. The material’s hygienic, low-maintenance and repairable qualities made it an easy choice for benchtops and integrated sinks, while its refined finish elevated the overall design.
The renovation and style continue throughout the rest of the property with a new foyer and entrance, mudroom, powder room, internal staircase and a second-storey parents’ retreat, creating cohesion across the home.
