Seaside elegance

Located in the charming seaside town of Blairgowrie on the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne, Australia, a private residence captures the essence of contemporary elegance. This architectural gem stands out for its modern, sophisticated design, seamlessly integrating with its natural surroundings. The home successfully combines luxury and functionality, with each space thoughtfully designed to balance living comfort with aesthetic appeal.

The exterior spaces are designed to fully embrace outdoor living, with a focus on relaxation and enjoyment. A large infinity pool extends around the perimeter of the property, creating a breathtaking visual effect that reflects the sky and the surrounding landscape. Adjacent to the pool, a tennis court provides a tranquil and exclusive setting for sports activities. The choice of high quality materials for the paving and exterior finishes not only enhances the property’s overall aesthetics, but also ensures durability and weather resistance.

The interiors consist of large, bright open spaces, enhanced by the use of ceramic tiles from Lea Ceramiche’s Anthology collection. These tiles beautifully replicate the textures of marble and stone, achieving a remarkably realistic tactile and visual effect. The White colour version in a 60×120 cm size and 9.5 mm thickness is used throughout, creating a uniform and harmonious appearance that is particularly evident in the poolside and veranda areas. These surfaces not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the spaces but also meet high standards of quality and performance, making them ideally suited for outdoor areas exposed to the elements.

Inside, tiles from the same collection in the warm Earth colour are used extensively on both the floors and walls, creating a cosy and sophisticated atmosphere in every room. The Muretto mosaic in the colour White and 30×60 cm size is used in the bathroom to add a touch of elegance and originality. The unique and refined design of these decorative elements enhances the luxury and tranquillity of the space, creating an ideal environment for relaxation and personal care.

The skilful use of materials and colours creates a sensation of visual and tactile continuity between the interior and exterior of the home, effectively blurring the distinction between artificial and natural spaces. This design approach, which prioritises unity and harmony between spaces, demonstrates how contemporary architecture can blend seamlessly with the natural environment, offering a unique and unforgettable living experience. With its elegant and functional design, the Blairgowrie house stands as an icon of style and sophistication, providing a tranquil and beautiful haven for its occupants.
