Bayden Goddard Design firm had completed a stunning contemporary house design located on Australia’s Gold Coast. The residence successfully adjoins extensive park to the south and absolute beachfront to the east, bringing a sophisticating public appearance whilst maintaining a private yet expansive pool and entertaining core.

Entry to the residence is via a recycled timber colonnade and gatehouse that grants covered access to both wings of the house. The street front facing wing accommodates guests generously with their own living area, kitchen and bathroom amenities, with a secondary stair linking to the main media, bar and games room below.

A wide glazed hallway wraps the central courtyard on both the ground and first floor giving scenic circulation past the main amenities whilst providing aesthetic flow, travelling the timber stair. Privacy is ensured and natural light is made abundant as the open tread stair is backlit entirely by opaque glazing. The centralised amenities assist easy access and circulation to ensure a well functioning home. Louvred glazing has been utilised throughout the home to control ventilation by natural breezes.

Twenty five metres of glazing capture the absolute beachfront of the property. This expansive room is catered for by the marble and timber finished kitchen with chef’s scullery and abundant cold and dry storage behind. Multiple dining and living areas are defined by furniture and finishes allowing a fully transformable space if the function so requires. Entertaining the end of the room, a split faced sandstone wall is suspended over the flickering floor level fireplace, visually playing on weight and spatial elements.

The upper level upholds all of the ground floor’s quality and design functionality, continuing play with material and space. All of the bedrooms afford beachfront orientation due to the broad width of the property, each with its own ensuite and walk in robe. The private master suite achieves an intimate aesthetic through warm textures as the sandstone wall rises from the floor below to the angled glass skylight directly above the double shower. Running the length of the eastern façade, a sandstone tiled balcony allows the family to check weather conditions and enjoy the beach aspect throughout the day, utilising indoor to outdoor spaces.
