Manly Townhouse, Sydney 

Located on the laid-back shores of Manly, these town homes by DKO Architecture are not your average beachside abodes. Featuring the union of natural and industrial materials as well as a darker, more sensuous colour palette rarely seen in beach houses, each residence is a uniquely striking fusion of relaxed coastal living and urban upscale.  The seamless uniformity of hand-trowelled X-Bond microcement on the flooring and walls contributes to a sense of openness, as each living area—from kitchen to dining to upstairs— visually flows into the next. It’s an effect carried by long, low planes and the timber-lined ceiling which also offers a statement subversion of traditional surfacing.
