Architectural vision and quality craftsmanship combine to create a family home where luxury meets liveability

Set against the idyllic backdrop of Queensland’s Bribie Island, Driftwood 29 is a statement of modern coastal living, where design, functionality, and craftsmanship come together in perfect harmony. Thoughtfully created by McLachlan Home’s in-house design team, this stunning new display home seamlessly blends aesthetic appeal with practical solutions for contemporary family life.

Positioned on an 863m² block, this design has been meticulously designed to optimise liveability, spatial efficiency, and natural light, while embracing its northern aspect to enhance passive heating and cooling. Every element has been thoroughly considered to create a home that is both visually striking and effortlessly functional.

Upon arrival, the awe-inspiring facade immediately captivates with its carefully curated colour palette. The crisp white Taubmans render allows architectural features such as striking rooflines and window detailing to shine. Rich Woodland Grey cladding contrasts beautifully against the textural Country Ledgestone Aspen stone features, elevating the exterior to a new level of sophistication.

Stepping onto the inviting porch and entering through the timber pivot door, guests are guided inward by the continuation of the feature stone, creating a seamless transition between outside and in. Luxurious Norcia Travertine 600mm x 60mm floor tiling immediately sets the tone for the refined elegance that lies within.

At the heart of the Driftwood 29 lies the centrally positioned kitchen, the true heart of the home. Featuring stunning pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, and organic white stone benchtops, the kitchen blends classic white cabinetry to the island with the warmth of Chair Oak matt cabinetry. Storage is plentiful, with a butler’s pantry offering additional shelving and an extra sink, ensuring both practicality and elegance.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the open-plan living and dining areas are bathed in natural light, creating a bright and airy space that is perfect for relaxation and entertaining. A striking built-in bar with a statement wine rack echo the kitchen beautifully, reinforcing the home’s modern yet inviting aesthetic.

Bringing the outdoors in, the expansive alfresco area extends the living space seamlessly, complete with a built-in barbecue and external WC, designed for effortless entertaining while embracing Bribie Island’s relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Ensuring both privacy and practicality, the Driftwood 29 features a dedicated kids’ wing, housing three spacious bedrooms (two with walk-in robes), a stylish main bathroom, and a separate WC.

The inclusion of a large media room with a raked ceiling and external access through the lanai provides the perfect cinematic retreat or additional space for family relaxation.

Positioned at the rear of the home, the master suite offers a private sanctuary, complete with a generous walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring full-height tiling and twin vanities, delivering a spa-like experience within the comfort of home.

Beyond its intelligent layout, Driftwood 29 showcases the exceptional craftsmanship that McLachlan Homes is renowned for. From the high-end finishes to the flawless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, every detail has been executed to the highest standard.

Rounding off this home’s impressive list of features is a large, custom-fitted laundry and the added practicality of off-road, drive-through boat parking accessed through the double-car garage.

A true benchmark for contemporary coastal design, the Driftwood 29 is crafted for families seeking a harmonious balance of style, comfort, and functionality. It is more than just a home, it is an experience — a place where luxury meets liveability, and architectural excellence meets environmental awareness.

The Driftwood was awarded Best Display Home in its category ($600,000–$800,000) at the Master Builders Brisbane Awards on Saturday, 26 July. This stunning home is a truly deserving winner and a wonderful reflection of the hard work and creativity across McLachlan Homes.

Defining modern style, The Marley display home features a carefully considered palette of colours and materials, starting with the white, clean-lined front facade. Adding to the street appeal is the rendered blockwork fencing with breeze block detailing that offers privacy to the pool terrace and main outdoor living space that sit at the front of the home.

The sophisticated alfresco living area, with its limestone-look porcelain tiles and striking travertine stone feature wall, is the perfect place to entertain or simply enjoy the view of the pool. The addition of a modern outdoor kitchen and a cleverly concealed outdoor shower only serves to enhance the luxury living experience.

From this stunning space, the interior of the home is accessed via recessed sill cavity stacker doors. Light, airy and boasting a very generous footprint, the open-plan family, dining and kitchen area that awaits makes you feel right at home and, thanks to the complementary colour palette, the indoor-outdoor flow is seamless.

By playing with the standard ceiling height in the family area, and contrasting this with a raked ceiling above the dining space and kitchen, McLachlan Homes has created a real sense of grandeur. And to ensure an abundance of natural light, encourage the flow of cooling breezes, and increase the indoor-outdoor living opportunities, a pergola-covered patio is conveniently located just off dining/kitchen area.

The perfectly positioned, showstopping kitchen is the heart of the home. Combining functionality and creativity, a main feature is the curved island bench finished with Steccawood half-round batten panelling in a soft timber tone. This draws the eye and is complemented by light-coloured stone benchtops and overhead cabinetry finished in smooth Verdelho.

On-trend brass cabinetry handles and tapware, along with Scale Shell gloss splashback tiles, add a touch of glamour, while the needs of the modern family are fully catered for with copious storage, and the addition of a walk-in pantry with a secondary sink and fridge space.

Designed with the day-to-day needs of the modern family in mind, this is a four-bedroom home featuring a media room that incorporates a raised platform for better viewing, and a concealed study nook. Each bedroom is spacious and offers ample robe space, with bedrooms one, two and three featuring their own walk-in robes. The main bathroom, featuring full-height tiling, offers a stylish layout and high-quality fixtures, including a built-in bath, on-trend brass tapware and cabinetry handles, a large frameless shower, which incorporates a very handy tiled recess, and a frameless mirror.

A superb master suite located at the rear of the home, accessible via the concealed study nook, features private linen storage and an exquisite ensuite with ceiling-height tiling, a large, curved walk-in shower, a double-vanity, and tapware in the same brass finish enjoyed throughout the home. The finishing touch is a custom walk-in robe fitout that offers an abundance of storage and style, ensuring this is the perfect parents’ retreat.

This unique family-friendly home is quickly becoming a favourite within the Harmony Estate Display Village in Palmview, located on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, and it’s not hard to see why. The ideal traditional lot design, The Marley can be very easily adapted to suit a wide variety of lifestyles and budgets, and it’s guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
