Contemporary coastal retreat designed by 11 Dimensions Architect Studio, featuring a striking Axis i1000 freestanding wood fireplace and a harmonious blend of dark tones and natural materials, completed in 2020 on the scenic Mornington Peninsula.
Balnarring Beach House stands as a testament to sophisticated coastal living, proudly showcasing the Axis i1000 freestanding wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection as a central design element. The fireplace takes center stage on a sleek black steel bench, providing a captivating focal point in the home. Embracing a dark color palette enriched with timber and natural materials, the residence exudes an organic elegance that seamlessly blends with its coastal surroundings.
Designed by the esteemed 11 Dimensions Architect Studio, situated on the picturesque Mornington Peninsula, this dwelling is a manifestation of the clients' desire for a serene coastal retreat. The architects artfully translated the vision into reality by crafting a space that transcends aesthetics and functions, while the presence of the freestanding wood fireplace adds a touch of warmth and ambiance. The interior design thoughtfully juxtaposes light and dark tones, epitomized by the dual-tone kitchen featuring a light marble splashback and island countertop contrasted with black appliances.
Ample natural light graces the bathrooms, where expansive windows frame the landscape, creating an atmosphere of serenity. The home is adorned with verdant plants that soften the palette, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. As a true embodiment of coastal luxury, Balnarring Beach House marries the architectural prowess of 11 Dimensions with the inviting allure of the Axis i1000 freestanding wood fireplace, redefining the essence of coastal living for the occupants, a young family seeking solace by the sea.

Bold & Beautiful
The design selection of a striking dark color palette against the backdrop of natural elements, including the industrial-style polished concrete floors, serves as a bold departure from the typical bright coastal styling choices prevalent in the area, defying convention and setting Balnarring Beach House apart.
This deliberate contrast creates a sense of depth and sophistication, emphasizing the home's connection to its surroundings. The fusion of the dark hues with the inherent textures of timber and polished concrete achieves a harmonious balance between the contemporary and the organic, resulting in an ambiance that challenges tradition while remaining deeply rooted in the coastal landscape.
