Waves

Merging two apartments into one for this waterside family residence, Waves (2021) serves as an artfully executed wellness sanctuary designed for modern living. With its postcard-worthy views and private rooftop access, Waves’ natural surrounds pervade this Brother Nature design and build commission. Through careful planning, inspired risk-taking and precision execution, an adjoining door enables the dual residences to cohesively open into one. The home’s water filtration system and luxury kitchen appliances equip the space with top-of-the-range amenities, while natural fibres such as silks, linens and wools offset luxury Italian velvet upholstery and quality leather.  A duo of Brazilian White Fantasy and Italian Bianco Carrara marble imbues the space with welcome organic elements. The client’s connection to spiritual practice is revealed through both Japanese and Turkish-inspired bathtubs and a steam room, and reinforced through Melbourne-based Christopher Boots’ crystal fixtures and chandeliers. Waves’ sun-drenched location also requires refined manipulation of light – achieved through highly customisable design and blockout blinds. The finished product is a soulful and functional wellness respite from the hustle and grind of both daily life and the activity of the coastal promenade beyond.
