Expertly designed and constructed by the team at Gremmo Homes, an uber-functional luxury dwelling finds its place high among the headlands at North Curl Curl on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Navigating a narrow 11m block, Gremmo Homes was able to artfully fuse a bold, monochromatic colour palette with rich textural finishes to generate a brilliantly bold, powerful street presence sure to captivate the locals. Charred timber cladding and smooth render walls work in combination to create a moody ambience, while refreshing, organic textures such as a bespoke oak timber front door and sandstone paving provide true depth of field.
With the soaring steep block and multi-level nature of the design, the build of the home posed a series of challenges for the Gremmo Homes team. Extensive rock excavation — while protecting the neighbouring properties — required careful planning, intense supervision and expert execution. It’s this level of attention to detail that sets Gremmo Homes apart from the rest, and the outstanding showpiece speaks for itself.
Stepping through the oversize pivot front door, you’re immediately greeted with a modern contemporary layout that complements the steep sloping site. There are numerous nods to the importance of solar passive design, allowing the home to be flooded in abundant natural light while simultaneously encouraging refreshing natural airflow. Meanwhile, double-glazed commercial windows and vast, cantilevered balconies provide a seamless connection between the home’s indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The heart of the open-plan upper level is the contemporary kitchen — complete with honed marble benchtops and chic matt black joinery. Ensuring that the kitchen remains functional as well as stylish, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances were selected to add a touch of understated opulence alongside the engineered oak floorboards and elegant pendant lighting.
The adjacent living area opens through oversized glass sliding doors onto a generous alfresco balcony space. It’s here where a complete outdoor kitchen and relaxed atmosphere provide the homeowners with endless hours of outdoor living and entertaining, while enjoying the ocean breeze and views across to the glittering Sydney CBD.
The master bedroom is reminiscent of a five-star hotel suite with its exquisite cabinetry and luxury inclusions. The ensuite provides an alternative to standard room orientation, with its open layout and an indulgent freestanding charcoal bathtub — the perfect place to wash away the day.
Considered design has created a number of break-out areas to provide solace for the teenage occupants of the home, with plenty of study space and ample built-in storage. A unique soundproof music hub within the home’s basement is a fantastic area to fire up a jam session for the band without waking up the neighbours.
A clever pool design and understated landscaping has created the idyllic backyard retreat, perfect for summer days and warm evenings under the stars. With its glimmering jade-toned pool tiles, charcoal-grey paving and peaceful pavilion, the backyard retreat stands as impressively as the home itself.
This outstanding dwelling will undoubtedly give back to its homeowners in the years to come, and so too will it give back to the environment with its 10kW photovoltaic system and Tesla battery, alongside an 85 per cent self-sufficient approach to overall power consumption.
Well-considered design, quality inclusions and expert construction make this oceanside home an outstanding accomplishment. A testament to the team behind its creation, it offers the promise of luxurious, easy living for its occupants and visitors well into the future, and delivers in spades.
