Right at home with SJ in City Beach.
Tell us about how the initial concept for the design and location was born…
At Avanti Builders, we always build homes that we could actually live in and imagine our family living there. This project was all about creating a modern, mid-century family home - a luxurious, single story home in leafy, central City Beach. The home has west-facing frontage with a large balcony for the summer sea breeze and sunset skies. We’ve connected all areas of living to the central northern hub that opens up to the alfresco dining and lap pool which keeps family living functional, but also allows space to be enjoyed individually.
The apartment feature is very unique at the front of the home. What was your thought process around this?
The space has multi-functional use, especially with its own entrance allowing the space appealing to adult kids living or returning home, working home office, an au pair, grandparents’ accommodation or coastal payed accommodation like AirBNB.
As parents of three kids (24 years, 22 years, and 7 years) who run their business from home, the apartment feature definitely appeals to us and a wide demographic of potential buyers.
Any special stories you are willing to share?
From the moment the concept entered our head, we visualised how we would live in the home particularly in the kitchen - how do we want this kitchen to function, connect, feel and look? Also, what is the purpose of entertaining in the home? Making people connect in the hub of the home flowing between the the outdoor cooking area and kitchen allows the two spaces to become one.
We do this with every space, from lying on a bed to sitting in a chair.
We want every space in the house to be enjoyed with the eye, capturing the beautiful natural light entering through the rooms whilst connecting the continuous features of the house.
