ย South Coast Residence-Indyk Architects-01-1 Kindesign

South Coast Residence is a luxurious contemporary property designed by Indyk Architects, showcasingย scenic ocean views in Coalcliff, Australia. The house divides into three staggered floor levels relating to the land form it sits upon, the height restrictions that protect the neighbourโ€™s views behind and its own internal views out to the ocean.

The largest floor level is the โ€˜publicโ€™ ground floor space with cooking, eating, lounge space, guest bathroom and bedroom. There is the โ€˜privateโ€™ first floor mezzanine with main bedroom, bathing and study perch, that overlooks the main living space below. The level that links the house with the ocean, is the lower ground floor, with an additional guest room that doubles as a Pilates space, and a covered pottery work terrace that opens to a western terraced vegetable garden and pond, and to the eastern coastal garden and ocean.

Arrival into the house, is through the northern breezeway that links all levels of the house externally. A mosquito screened โ€˜lungโ€™ of the house, it allows the inner core to open up, extending areas and views. Its recycled โ€˜post and beamโ€™ Spotted gum hardwood structure, is a counterpoint to the concrete โ€˜post and beamโ€™ inner structure. This system allows great flexibility between inside and outside and between internal spaces.

The luxury Australian house site has its long section facing north, stimulating an architectural response of โ€˜partneredโ€™ indoor-outdoor rooms. At main ground floor level, the kitchen opens to a sheltered central courtyard, which then connects to a terraced vegetable herb garden facing north east, protected from southerly winds. The lounge area, four steps above the ground floor level, opens to its north, into a large roofed porch that can house 20 people around a family table. This porch has a northern coastal view of disappearing headlands and a panoramic ocean horizon view to the east, and looking downwards a spectacular detailed view of the rock platform below.
